Helen Miller Fisher I understand where BOTH of you are coming from. And I don't really see any good solution, except common sense....if you don't know anything about the activity or the judges, PLEASE don't vote! I show in obedience, and know very little about conformation judges.....so I generally don't vote on those. There are certain names that come up on the list of possible obedience judges, and whenever I see those names I can bet money on who will be judging obedience next year. One name in particular seems to get voted in every time that name shows up on the ballot. and I'm willing to bet it's not the obedience people doing the voting. --Regina 2 GSDs and one permanently visiting papillon ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
