If would be wonderful if we could do this! However, even after 26 years of showing I have no clue which judges pick handlers and which don't. I see it happening, but a month later I don't remember the name of that judge. I have a great memory and remember the DOGS so well I have been able to see a dog once and recognize it in an ad (non-doggy ad) much later! But because I am at a DOG show, I simply find myself focusing on the DOGS and cannot focus on names of judges. I started a judge's book a few years back, but after a few months completely forgot to fill it out. I'm sure a little part of me cannot *accept* that judges do this even thought I know they DO and prevents me from filling that book out! Sort of *I don't want to play this game because it shouldn't be a game*! Besides me there are always many, many new people joining our ranks every day. They don't know either. So judges who favor handlers will continue to be supported over and over. It takes a long time for someone new to get into the network and start to understand which judges do what. Anyhow, I don't see how this could work.
