Try as I can, I can't think of anyone who fits this description. But, I can think of a number who believe it. That is the shame of those who find excuses for not winning. There is something wrong with this. It is an insult to all of those who work so hard for us and give up so much to judge our great breed. There is nothing to be gained by judging, and those willing to do it, have to listen to being accused of all sorts of evils. That is wrong.
