Send the letter to the AKC reps and TELL them you are forwarding all letters to 
the judges dept. It is hard to protect 20 letters as not be meaningless. Flood 
the AKC.

  John's right except for one thing.  Complaints on the day to the 
Rep...letters to the rep would be a waste of time.  Just write to the Judges' 
Department at the AKC.

    I would say that this is an akc PROBLEM.
    I would say that the AKC would not approve of a judge taking a dog away 
from the handler. After all, THE  AKC  says things like " not holding the head 
if the dog is being measured."  " It is not necessary to determine soundness by 
forcibly raising and  dropping  front or hindquarters or applying pressure 0n 
the  hock." 

    HERE IS THE PROBLEM ;  IF you have any of  these problem  going on. Do 3 
things immediately.
    -
    1. Report the problem to the AKC  Repts.
    2. SEnd a letter to the AKC
    3. STOP SHOWING UNDER THAT JUDGE THAT DAY.


    IF EVERYONE DID THE SAME THING, CHANGES WOULD TAKE PLACE. TALKING ABOUT A 
JUDGE DOES VERY LITTLE TO CHANGE ANYTHING. 20 LETTERS TO THE AKC REP AND THEN 
CC THOSE TO THE  THE AKC. 
    THAT SHOWD GET YOU SOME ACTION.

      Hi John, 
      What does the PC or AKC say about a judge actually taking the lead away 
from the handler? Isn't  the handler supposed to have control over his dog at 
ALL TIMES, and if a judge physically removes the leash from the handler's 
possession, then he/she has at that point lost control of said dog?  I can't 
imagine why anyone would want to do it, or want to see a dog that would allow 
it?  Inquiring minds...
      Take care
      Kathy
