That doesn't surprise me!!  Had this same judge withhold the blue from
Becky's little Border Collie, Abby.  (I was at the Shepherd ring)  When the
other BC exhibitors protested, she withheld WB.   I got to the ring for BOB
so was able to question Ms. Saltzman.  The reason for withholding blue.....
she said to me "I have never seen a smooth coated Border Collie before so
it had to be incorrect" "And I watched a herding trial in England too and
didn't see a coat like that either."  

I sure wish I'd had been there during the class so I could have halted
everything and called the rep over.  We did make a protest afterward.  The
biggest weight behind us was the other exhibitors.  Seems the open bitch
hoping to finish that weekend was owned and handled by the parent club's
VP!  Ooops.  <VBG>  The special was owned by her best friend... the
treasurer of the parent club.  Needless to say they but in a  formal
protest to AKC.   And I hadn't seen Saltzman on a judging panel in this
area until about a year ago.   Sounds like she needs a break again.

The next day under Mickelson... the bitch finished and Abby, only 12 months
at the time, took reserve.
