I think this is an instance of "you weren't there", from what I found on InfoDog, the only GSD class that Ms. Robey judged in FL was in the early months of 2004 and she gave the single point to a Puppy. Maybe there was mitigating circumstances that she gave the Puppy a few more chances because it was a pup? I don't know, I wasn't there. Yes, I know that THAT handler gets lots of freebies, and it disgusts me, but to bring this up 18 months later just before she is judging a specialty seems a bit unfair. She has judged GSDs many times in the last 18 months...why bring it up now? (o.k., I wonder about a Turveren breeder judging aspecialty, but I wasn't THERE, either, and maybe there's a reason I don't know about), I will not stop my entry in a show that Ms. Robey is judging because of this, and I will judge for myself this time. This is a totally different situation than Mr. J.White's circumstance. That situation was brought IMMEDIATELY to the attention not only of us, but of AKC. He was warned, I am assuming, and changed his pattern back to his former judging style (Thank goodness).
