Several months ago word got back to me that a couple of my fellow exhibitors were complaining that someone of my “stature and prominence” should not be showing. The conversation led to a broad discussion of other judges… those who do, vis-à-vis those who do not exhibit their own dogs and the effect this has on the fancy. The person who chose to bring this topic to the table was amazed as I began to rattle off judges, many of far more prominence and stature in their respective breeds than I, who regularly exhibit.

I see light at the end of the tunnel! My prediction is we will all be together again sooner rather than later. While we are still seeing show cancellations, we are also seeing clubs that are trying to move forward and have their shows as scheduled. We need to support the club decisions on both ends of this spectrum, not judge anyone, and make the best decision for ourselves and our dogs when it comes to attending the shows being held. Those that have not worked on a show committee cannot possibly understand the magnitude of the decision to cancel a dog show.

Having bred over 500 champions, I decided I would try to become a judge; to see dogs from the other side of the fence so to speak. Last year I requested my first four breeds: Giant and Standard Schnauzers, as well as Doberman Pinschers and Greyhounds. My first year as a judge, as a provisional, is almost over and it’s been a very interesting experience.

Also, please understand that proper “work” clothes for the position are important. No one wants (or needs) to see your panty lines, cleavage, or other unmentionables. (And these things apply to you men, too!). If I have to see one more handler (and this, sadly, includes Juniors) reach into their bra strap (or some other area under their blouse) and pull out bait, I am going to throw up! Whoever started that trend, please identify yourself! You have some explaining to do.
