Our deepest sympathies go out to Daryl Martin whose sister, Marna Martin, passed away suddenly Friday night. The Last Lady of Song, and known as “Marna Moo” by her family will be missed by many.

It is with sorrow and fond memories that we report the passing of Wayne Boyd.

Unfortunately, there was another case of a judge who probably should not have been standing center ring this past weekend. The judge was rude to exhibitors to the point of yelling at them and being downright mean. Several seasoned exhibitors have voiced their concern and disappointment, with the biggest concern being how this individual’s behavior would affect new exhibitors. What I am hearing is that those that showed to this judge this past weekend are certain a new exhibitor would never return. This issue seems to be occurring more and more. While we want to be inclusive to those that have been in the sport for a long time, one must realize that there are cases where we are not doing a judge any favors by putting them in a situation where they can no longer perform the duties of judging. Rudeness and lack of respect and kindness to exhibitors should not be tolerated!

Focusing on the attribution of the article rather than on the deeper questions it asks disharges our obligations as members/voters/participants/exhibitors/judges in the sport of dogs to live and play by common shared ethical standards and to work together to make rules that effectively close loopholes and promote true sportsmanship for the betterment of dogs.
