I agree with you Annette on a lot of things here and I know not all the wins are political. I certainly know mine were not. Most of the people I won under I had no ideal who they were or what they liked. However, I do also know of a lot of political wins happening. My letter was suppose to only go to Cynthia privately but that is OK.
I know when I am judging I look at the dogs and pick what I think is the best one on that day and I don't even care if I hate the person showing that dog if the dog is right he wins. I know there are a lot of other people who judge the same way but not all of them. I wish they did. I did not mean anything against the overseas judges as the AKC can be just as bad if not more so. However, mostly it is overseas judges that come to do the CKCSC shows. By the way I sure liked who you put up when you were here.
