Hi all, Years ago, I had been told by a judge, who had never owned a dog with me, that she could not take one of my dogs into the ring for me. Both of my girls had won their class and I was looking for someone to handle the puppy in the winners competition. The judge even said she would be reluctant to hold the dog outside the ring for me. Nancy's post caused me to question how long after a co-ownership with a judge is ended would one have to wait to be able to show under that judge. I went to AKC's site this morning and found the following information on Conflict of Interest under Guidelines for Conformation Dog Show Judges on this page: http://www.akc.org/registration/rules/rej999.cfm?page=5 AKC recognizes you cannot control who enters under you. Consequently, situations may arise that require you to excuse an exhibitor due to a conflict of interest known to you. Some examples of exhibits or exhibitors that meet the criteria are: a dog which you or a member of your immediate family has owned, co-owned, sold, boarded, etc., within one year prior to the show date a person who has handled for you within four months prior to the show date a person with whom you have a business relationship Conversely, it would be a conflict of interest for you to handle a dog not owned or co-owned by you or a member of your immediate family (refer to "Handling" section).
