Entirely too many judges are, I can tell you. For example, if they have a group and don't recognize any dogs, they come out of the ring saying "bunch of pets. Or, "no good dogs there." Never mind that there are some fantastic animals there, they can't find them without the magazines....or a handler's face. It's distressing, disheartening, and disgusting.......but some pet with a famous handler, oboy.....watch it win... and I'm not talking about German Shepherds here, sad to say!
