Hi, Linda,
Much as I appreciate what you are saying, I do think perhaps it would
be wise not to mention the specific names of judges critically on this
particular list. (There are a couple of lists for that on
Yahoogroups.com; perhaps they have some liability insurance? LOL).
Dr. Berndt wrote a pretty fair all breed judge's table book, has given
me a five point major out of Bred By class over handlers and their well
campaigned and advertised dogs, and perhaps DID feel that day that the
dog he put up was great DESPITE the handling.
When I got my major from him, he managed to get a word in my ear about
improving my girl's table stacking. <G>
I'm not saying that it wouldn't be nice, too, if he managed to comment
on the poor handling of the dog you saw win.
