She may be interested in the breed and attended the seminar, but to put up a dog lacking the proper GSD temperament, she didn't use what she learned at the seminar. She allowed herself to be influenced by the handler? Afterall, a "face" wouldn't show an inferior dog, right? Sorry, being sarcastic. ********************************************** Not only sarcastic but a little unfair to Linda. There is always two sides to a story. When did this happen? The only show LInda judged in Florida this year was in Brooksville in January and she did the sporting breeds. Since we are still in the herding group I don't think she judged GSDS. Could it be that Tom has her confused with another judge? She is not on the list to defend herself and I think it is unfair to find her guilty as charged without her being able to defend herself. I hired her to do my AB show twice, she drew a very good entry for us. She certainly faulted temperament if it was bad at those shows. She is a tooth nut and you would not do well to bring her one with a missing tooth. Coming from the Belgium breeds she is very familiar how important good temperament is in all breeds. Her email is in the judges directory and I think before people find her guilty and sentence her to death maybe they should talk to her.
