Such a shame but then it just goes to show all of us that our dog shows are slipping everywhere NOT just at our National ************************************************************************** If you had a conversation with her you would still think she is 100 years old. I hired her a few years back because one of our members insisted. I couldn't make her understand she needed to sign my contract and return it. She even told me in one conversation that I had never contacted her to see if she wanted to judge for my club. After numerous calls and a second request to sign my contract, I sent her a certified letter and removed her from the judging panel. The woman was out of it then so I am sure a few years later she is in worse condition but if you notice AKC seems to like them older the are since they keep judging all the high profile shows.
