Dawn, Not only can a judge be suspended for actions such as Bill Basu described, but the club at whose event this happened can be in hot water with AKC if they don't do something about it. When a handler and a judge got into an altercation at a recent national and the parent club did nothing about it, AKC fined the parent club big time for not dealing with it.

I know thai I do not know you, and visa versa, but that person was WRONG. What has happened to the respect of, and for people? This person is a Representative of the GSD. An AKC Judge too! I am embarrased and ashamed, that a grown adult can act like a big baby! I just hope that there were not any little kids around. What an example! Can a Judge be suspended for this kind of behaviour? Maybe a little fine in the pocketbook! This meanness has to stop! Kind Regards!
