“I hope you are going to ask me why more minorities, and African-Americans especially, aren’t showing dogs,” Adrian Woodfork said early in the interview for this profile. He’s very willing to discuss the subject. “It’s all about visibility,” he says. “Others have said that black people excel in sports that don’t require money, but that’s not right. A lot of blacks are middle class, upper middle class, or even millionaires.” However, if you don’t see other minorities in a sport, it may not occur to you that you could succeed in it yourself. Woodfork points to other sports that had been traditionally dominated by whites—before the Williams sisters, you didn’t see African-American women in tennis, and before Tiger Woods, you seldom saw a black professional golfer.

The Canine Chronicle Online ran an anonymous article about Ethics and Impropriety (https://caninechronicle.com/current-articles/conflicts-of-interest-and-impropriety/)?that caused a lot of ringside discussion amongst exhibitors, taking both sides of the issue. To review, it centered around an exhibit and exhibitor with strong ties to a judge officiating at the same prominent show. A lot of people assumed I wrote it because it was in my breed and I was there. I didn’t, not because I necessarily approved of it but because it was legal and the fact the judge was on the panel exerted no more “pressure” on the officiating judges than it would have had he sat ringside. In the end it was up to the exhibitors in question to decide how they wanted to be perceived, and to the judges in the ring to just judge the dogs no matter who was on the panel. The individuals in this scenario are not the focus of this essay; rather, the rules and ethics and consequences that surround relationships and judging decisions in general.
