Jim Reynolds – Remembering One Of The Greats
Westminster 2006 was true to form in terms of surprises. A few shocks at every level of competition are the Westminster tradition. However, that particular year stands out for a couple reasons. Jim Reynolds, that year’s Best In Show judge, was no stranger to Westminster. He had judged there on ten occasions beginning in 1983. He was also among the few, confident judges who didn’t shy away from controversy. Tom Bradley III, Westminster’s show chairman for 17 years, described Jim as his “go-to guy” in an emergency. “He was always on tap to take over and fill in. He always drew a good entry, was popular both in Canada and the US and, frankly, I think he was even more popular in the US.” As we know, unexpected judge changes are another Westminster tradition.

The writing is excellent, the tone is pragmatic and positive, and the data is shocking.

From The Publisher
Fifteen years ago, in 2009, a major change was made to the format of the AKC National Championship. This change, in my opinion, is one of the main reasons this show has become the premier dog show cluster in all of the Americas and one of the most important dog shows in the world.
