>Laurie, I am curious as to why a Judge whose 1st breed is Belgians would be >chosen to judge a GSD Specialty show? >Sherry >Willowlake Kennels I'm not a member of that club, but so I can't say, but I can guess, based on the pattern of entries in the Northeast. A lot of our all-breeds draw majors more easily than our specialties. I think owner-handlers feel they get a better shake under some of the all-rounders. This isn't the only club to bring in an all-rounder. Edeltraub Laurin (another Terv breeder) judged the Jersey Shore fall specialty a couple of years ago.
