Judge's Background & History

Mr. William E. Usherwood
Home: Springfield, IL
Initial Breed: Afghan Hounds

I have been honored to be an AKC judge for over 29 years. During this time I have had the opportunity to judge in Argentina, Canada, Indonesia, Norway, China, Mexico, Columbia, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia, and of course all over the United States. I enjoy seeing other countries, the people and the dogs that they show. I speak a little French, Spanish and English which helps in many parts of the world. I have judged under the FCI system, being approved as an all-rounder at many of their shows and have judged under many other systems as well, enjoying the different methods of arriving at the best dog. I enjoy what I do and hope that the entrants enjoy my decisions as well.
