My mentor in this breed won't even clap ringside of any dogs as a judge she says It's a No No. Emilie ----- Original Message ----- From: <RChesnut70502@xxxxxxx> To: <LeBrowngsd@xxxxxxx> Cc: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 4:06 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: What's The Point?

How sad that many on this list can express opinions and even slander others without concrete knowledge, and someone else is criticized for expressing an opinion because she is a judge. ***************************************** Carol Maybe you didn't but I would place a bet that AKC would not approve. They have proven in the past by suspending judges for doing this that they will not tolerate it. As a judge you should know this. Lee Brown I once told someone at ringside how nice of a dog he had. I was a new Judge and didn't know better. My next assignment guess who appears in my ring. The dog went RWD, but the owner was still very angry with me. I had given him false expectations. Not a good thing to do. Best to keep your mouth shut, was the lesson I learned. JMHO Randy C ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
