There are a number of judges on this List. Is there anyone who feels the slightest effect of knowing who is going to be shown, who won the day before, or even the record of your entries would have any influence on them? +++++++++++++++++++++ No it would not influence me and I find the whole topic insulting. It seems the opinion of judges is so low I do wonder why people spend their hard earned money showing. We donate 3 days of our lives and money out of our own pocket to judge a show, we stand in the middle of the ring thru snow, rain and heat and believe me after doing this no one is going to tell us what to do . I am sure there are a few that will be influenced but WAKE UP if a judge wants to know what has gone on the day before they will find out and it won't be from the list.
