Hi, Cheryl,
No worries about my name; am used to getting it mangled <VBG> I think
the post that you are referring to is this one that I wrote:

As I mentioned, we are showing a wholecolor now, and the judges who like
what we are showing may not be the ones who like what you are showing.
I do take notes on judges and don't show to those who I feel are looking
for a less "natural" dog. (Lately, I also note those who won't look at a
wholecolor). My suggestion was that anyone showing should take their own
notes, in order to determine whose opinion is important to them. We are
really paying for the opinion of the judges under whom we show.
As it stands, I don't have a "database" of judges , but rather a lot of
notes in catalogs. I'll then compare those notes after we've given a
judge a chance, to results on Infodog and see what other dogs he/she has
put up that are like mine in "style". I suppose I should get more
formally organized about this at some point. Now that I'm learning
Breedmate I've noticed that one can keep show notes there.
And the rest of it is luck of the draw.
