you know we all talk about honest judging and we get upset when it is our 
perception that the judging is "suspect"...and in my opinion sometimes it 
is.....last night I had a conversation with a friend who is also an AKC GSD 
Judge...since this was a private conversation Its not proper to give his or her 
name here....we talked about the subject of how it is "expected" of the judge 
to award best of winners to the sex ( dog or bitch) that failed to reach a 
"major" that day...we both agreed that this is WRONG!......if the dog is not 
better than the bitch he should not go BOW just to get her major...it is not 
honest judging!...if there were not enough dogs that day to make a major...then 
that's too damn bad.......same with BOB...don't award an animal a win over 
another who is better that day just to give that dog or bitch a major....if we 
were doing this show thing right and growing this sport all shows would be 
majors...it is none of the judges business if the major held or not...
 her job
 is to find the best dog each time a new class walks into her ring period, end 
of story.........it should be a struggle to become a champion!...you don't get 
strong with out a struggle...you can't lose weigh with out a 
struggle....anything worth doing well you will struggle to be good at 
it......off to school...man I love those kids...FB
