90228Mr. Rick Blanchard13.5043Oct 30, 2024Working Experience
This judge is a Handler and friends judge. Dogs that won nothing all weekend suddenly win under him. He is a jerk. Does not put up the best dogs …
6040Ms. Joyce A. Vanek p3.112710Oct 27, 2024AussieCara Jensen
Not a nice person, will never show to again.
5580Mr. Robin L. Stansell p3.11189Oct 24, 2024BoxerMJ Salmon
Seems to prefer Brindles, and plain brindle. Nice man. Seemed to judge the dogs.

The few times he has judged he always puts up his friends. DNS. DNH. Shame on you.
1814Mr. John C. Ramirez p Bio Web23.263415Oct 22, 2024ToysAnonymous
Watched him judge several breeds of different groups. Always went with the pro handler.
7295Mrs. Nancy Smith Hafner p12.533821Oct 22, 2024ToysAnonymous
Variable. Decent judge but inconsistent at times. Have seen her give specialty awards to an exhibitor and then the same dog does not make the cut a few weeks later.
66207Mrs. Kelly D. Reimschiissel p11.0011Oct 20, 2024ToysAnonymous
Awful. Highly Political. Only uses handlers. If anyone at the show is from her area, forget it. DNS. DO NOT HIRE
96319Mr. Shawn James Nichols p12.2975Oct 12, 2024American cockers Sandra Houle
Picked the handlers and the worst moving dogs
20217Mr. Larry C. Abbott p23.002015Oct 8, 2024TerriersAnnon
A blatant Handlers Judge. Observed him throughout the day. Easy to guess his choices based on the Handlers he rewards.
6913Ms. Peggy Beisel-McIlwaine p Bio3.317527Sep 30, 2024ChowsRockland
Likes the breed and will reward in the grp rings.
2799Mrs. Sharon Newcomb p2.852621Sep 30, 2024ChowsRockland
Likes the breed, will reward solid structure, good movement and temperament. Enjoyable in the ring, gives every entry a good look. Did not give any attention to who was on the other end of the lead.
21887Ms. Grace M. Fritz p33.292111Sep 30, 2024ChowsRockland
Better with structure, type and movement than past shows. Coat sculpting not such an issue with her. Pleasant in the ring, did not take into account who was on the other end of the leash.
6473Mr. Garry K. Newton p13.165131Sep 29, 2024workinganonymous
THIS JUDGE GAVE A PUPPY BREED OVER THE #5 DOG IN THE COUNTRY.. WHAT WAS HE DOING????? !!!!
11779Mrs. Gena Box-Young2None11Sep 23, 2024BoxerAnonymous
Handler judge. I was told who would win before the first dog ever stepped in the ring.
101581Ms. Laura Munro11.3331Sep 23, 2024Great Dane BOH
Mean and Nasty! Her procedure is awful and is clueless when it comes to NOHS.
7276Mr. Dana P. Cline p53.4215484Sep 15, 2024Standard SchnauzerMichelle Bell
I’ve probably shown to Mr Cline a dozen times and always find him fair and considerate. He really enjoys judging. Recently he judged an entry of several class bitches (including one of mine) and 2 specials bitches (including one of mine). My class bitch was in the line up with the specials. He moved them around and around and finally awarded the class bitch. He stated many things were equal but she had the best head. I totally agree. I appreciated the knowledge he has of our breed and the time he took.
51642Ms. Marie Ann Falconer p Bio12.052114Sep 15, 2024Standard schnauzersMichelle Bell
She has judged my dogs on 4 occasions. She prefers handlers. If you have a small dog with very soft incorrect coat she is your judge. Unless there is a handler ;) She also at another show wicketed a male who is in size and has specialty wins (we have a size DQ) and then put up another male for breed who was bigger and has in fact stopped being shown due to size. So bigger name handlers also help.
5156Mrs. Betsy Horn Humer p23.181711Sep 15, 2024Vizsla Deb
I have shown under her twice with 2 different dogs. Really not sure what she is looking for, she really did not watch the dogs gait. Wants the dogs to stand like a statue and not move during exam. She was very annoyed when my green dog turned her head during the exam.
5709Mr. Michael Faulkner p513.363917Sep 15, 2024Vizsla Deb
I have shown under this judge several times now and I look forward to doing so again. He is always pleasant and clear on his instructions. He likes the dogs to come in the ring and line up standing naturally, he does Not want them stacked until the individual exam. He clearly watches movement. He watches the dogs go around both one at a time and as a group. He doesn't always like the dog I have at time but his judging is consistent and he will put up an owner handler over a pro if he likes your dog.
5904Ms. Joy S. Brewster p12.143620Sep 13, 2024Herding Breed (Low Entry)Anonymous
A 1 Rating is too high for this person. I'm not going to refer to her as a judge because she did not act as one. She withheld Select Bitch and told the exhibitor that she did so because he was talking when he was in the ring. After she had examined his bitch, he was in line waiting while she completed the exams of the 3 remaining dogs. The exhibitor was talking to a person standing outside the ring who attended the show wanting to learn about dog shows. Dog shows don't need people like Joy Brewster. I see that my comment is only the most recent in a long list of comments noting her inappropriate and erratic behavior. Be warned.
7044Ms. Denise Dean p Bio12.001812Sep 12, 2024Herding Breed (Low Entry)Anonymous
Gave a group placement to a dog that has not a single breed point all year but is "owned" by the son of a judge (which judge has been overheard telling a fellow judge that it is her dog). There is no way this could have been about the dog if she had even bothered to look at the first paragraph of the breed standard.
4906Mrs. Jane M. Bishop p Web3.5021Sep 11, 2024BorzoiAnonymousExpert!
Picks our her own lines, polite
20217Mr. Larry C. Abbott p23.002015Sep 7, 2024Vizsla Deb
While he was very kind to show to he is definitely a handlers judge. As mentioned before- bottom line is placements were all handlers. I definitely would not show to him again as an owner handler
102109Alessandra R Folz53.0063Sep 7, 2024Vizsla Deb
This is the 2nd time I have shown under her and would definitely show to her again. If she likes your dog will give tips and will sometimes reposition feet to the dogs advantage and explain why. Very kind to the dogs and handlers including newbies. Will put up an oener handler dog over a pro if she likes what she sees
108441Cassie Frank33.0011Sep 7, 2024Sheltland sheepdogs Anonymous
Apparently she really doesn't know the colors because she made a statement about bi blacks that she really cannot look at them. Okay, I have a problem with that. If you're going to judge our breed, all colors are acceptable except for sable merles if they have blue eyes. So why don't you look at the overall dog and not play games just so everyone knows I was sitting ring side and watching and listening I didn't show.
43592Mrs. Sandy Gelinas p13.50103Sep 3, 2024Working BOH
Picked the worst dogs in the ring. I have no idea what she was looking at but it wasn't the standard!
6502Mrs. Sue Goldberg p Bio132.603514Sep 3, 2024Chows & Several Non-Sporting breedsRockland
I rated her as a "1" that is to high! she excused two GCH specials for turning their heads away from her. The 2nd one self excused and she still marked it as JUDG. NOT WORTH AN ENTRY. this was the 7th show in a 5 day cluster where one of them had been BOB e very show except one. If she is afraid of the breed she should not take the assignment.
96299Ms. Jan Ritchie11.7175Aug 31, 2024Terriers Terrier expert
Interested in who she will put up for points? Just check who is hiring her and influencers in the breed clubs in NC and the south.. Her choices are comical at best.
2799Mrs. Sharon Newcomb p2.852621Aug 31, 2024French Bulldoganonymous
Watched her judge Bulldogs and then she had my breed. In Bulldogs she did not put up any white dog and she proceeded in Frenchies to put up only brindles. She did give the breed to the 6-9 puppy and I agreed with that. Pleasant enough in the ring and good with puppies I just wouldn't show to her with a cream dog.
109179Mrs. Jennifer Bell12.6731Aug 31, 2024Great DaneAnon
Watched this judge at a GD speciality show judging 6-9m puppy class. Judge picked a puppy that could not be examined, would not gait and the judge actually "forgot" to check the bite until all puppies had been examined. The other pups obviously performed 100% better but were not handled by a pro-handler. She then proceeded to picked this same puppy for points and the puppy she dumped who could be examined and gait, (came in after the pro handler pup was picked) was picked for Reserve. Moral of the story is, doesn't matter to this judge who the best dog is, it matters who is at the other end of the lead.
104465Thomas J Davis11.0012Aug 26, 2024Great Dane BOH
Seems to favor his friends and past clients.
7516Mrs. Sulie Greendale-Paveza p12.747442Aug 25, 2024Herding Breed (Low Entry)Anonymous
She "judged" an entry of 2 in a low entry rare breed. She was so clearly uninterested in judging that exhbitors were commenting on it. She barely touched the dogs during the exam. If she doesn't enjoy judging or does not enjoy judging certain breeds maybe she should not continue to do so. We decided not to stay for the Group. I will not bother her again by entering when she is judging.
17022Michael L. Canalizo p34w4l3.193117Aug 22, 2024ChowsRockland
Very consistent in hos judging and give each entry a good look. Like expression and attitude as much as he does type and movement. He also knows the handles and their entries making them hard to defeat.
93094Mr. James A. Moses p Web213.004323Aug 22, 2024Group Non-SportingRockland
Oblivious to the chow as a breed, did not even give the courtesy of a proper eval.
6097Mrs. Patti Widick Neale p43.263115Aug 22, 2024ChowsRockland
Enjoyed showing to her, she was attentive to each entry, soft touch, worked well with the young and consistent in type and movement. She actually enjoys judging and likes the breed.
17972Mrs. Julie Felten p11.5699Aug 22, 2024ChowsRockland
If you dont know her dont waste your time. She claimed a dog was lame and excused it. Most of us were expecting the dog to go WD or BOB from the class based on movement and structure. It did go BOB the next day. She does not have a clue about proper breed movement.
7231Mrs. Danelle M. Brown p312.962418Aug 22, 2024CHOWSRockland
If out of coat in the summer dont bother, looks for the sculpted silhouette of the breed of a familiar entry. Very open about being friends with PH in the ring before making placements.
17384Ms. Marge B. Calltharp p33.18119Aug 22, 2024chowsRockland
Placed a very nice young (9 Month) special bitch over ranked dogs. Not a bad selection I went SEL Dog. BOB bitch looked very much like my dogs sister (size, color, structure & type). Gave good eval of every entry prior to her placements.
91808Mrs. Donna Ernst p23.2053Aug 22, 2024ChowsRockland
Shown to her twice, neither time was she consistent. Our breed has few handlers, but she found the one she knew very well and was obvious about it in the ring before selecting her as BOB. Do not look forward to seeing her in the ring again.
100269Mrs. Angela Pickett22.8995Aug 20, 2024BorzoiAnonymousExpert!
Put up a very average dog with a well known handler. Many better dogs in the ring.
