I would guess your question would be better off asked of AKC for a very accurate answer. In my opinion, just exhibit under honest judges known for their integrity and you won't have to worry about conflicts.............. Because if someone is annoyed enough about losing they can dig any conflict up from under a rock that some rule doesn't cover. Every judge has been or is a breeder/exhibitor and most all have employed any one of several handlers somewhere down the road. So pick your judges and have some faith in them to do the right thing. If you have doubts then don't exhibit under them....................... Hope this helps............ Amy Safdir Almanya Shepherds www.almanyagsd.com Thanks, I was just wonderin.
