Seemed like his first show, will not show to him again. Put up handlers (and a judge). Barely looked at anyone else's dog, much less went over them. Save your money.
106039Mr. Jean-Christophe Boulinguez12.0031Apr 3, 2025HoundsAnonymousExpert!
Put up handlers and judge friends in several breeds, no clue on the standards, very rude, DNS for us, waste of time, definitely makes showing dogs to him an unpleasant experience.
7249Ms. Celeste M. Gonzalez p2.1197Apr 1, 2025Dachshundslbtrimble
DNS - very chatty w/ppl in the ring she knows and will put this same ppl up. The only judge out of five that did not give my bitch anything. The other four gave her either Reserve or a major.
65755Ronald V. Horn p13.0096Mar 24, 2025Dalmatian anonymous
A very big disappointment. This judge comes from a background as an owner handler but seems to be quick to pick the professional handler on a mediocre dog over an owner handler on a much nicer dog...possibly a self-confidence issue. After showing to him and watching him in the group ring he has landed permanently on my DNST list.
5144Mr. Joe C. Walton p Bio12.857540Mar 22, 2025Herding Breed (Low Entry)Anonymous
He had a good sized entry of a low entry breed, but did not seem interested at all. He didn't even watch all the dogs go around. He did select the overweight dog with a well known handler for Best of Breed.
7380Ms. Dyane M. Baldwin p12.8366Mar 10, 2025SportingJudges' Ed Mentor for this Breed
Did a really poor job judging a large entry, did not put up correct type or movement. Clearly no clue on breed type in this breed! Not open to learning either. Made very inappropriate, rude comments to exhibitors. Do Not Hire!
17561Ms. Gloria Kerr p Bio43.066536Mar 8, 2025AnonymousExpert!
Put up poor moving hounds, no clue
6065Dr. Steve Keating p112.3413787Mar 7, 2025workinganonymous
It's as if he knows what he is picking before the dogs enter the ring.. placing class dogs over dogs that are ranked #1 in other countries. DNS
5709Mr. Michael Faulkner p113.333918Mar 6, 2025Herding Breed (Low Entry)Anonymous
Wow. Egregious example of judging the wrong end of the lead. 3 dogs were entered and all armbands were picked up. When it came time to judge the breed only 2 of the dogs were there and waiting. The 2 dogs and handlers entered the ring and were set up. The steward called out the number of the missing dog. The dog and handler were not there. Mr. Faulkner made the dogs and handlers in the ring continue to wait. He was clearly agitated and said something to the effect of "I know she picked up." Everyone had to wait until the well-known professional handler and her dog showed up. Guess who was selected BOB?
51976Michael ConradtNone01Jan 29, 2025RottweilerSharon Langlotz-Johnson
As an owner handler, I am very choosy about who I show to, so I don’t waste my money. I showed to Mike Conradt multiple times in regular shows and one time at a Seiger show which is a German style show for Rottweilers. he is very very fair. I don’t mind losing when he is the judge because I know he is picking the dog for the dog and he doesn’t care who’s behind the leash. He also is willing to tell you what he didn’t like about your dog if you asked. He is very straightforward and upfront. Very Fair
6863Mrs. Sherry C. Webster53.0053Jan 22, 2025SportingBreeder/Owner/Handler
This judge knows dogs -- picks according to type, movement, and structure regardless of who's handling the dog. She had several very nice specials in her ring with a couple of the biggest names in the game, but she carefully evaluated and placed on the breed hallmarks and correctness of movement and structure, and even put up an owner-handler with a deserving dog for breed. This is the type of judge clubs SHOULD be hiring!! I'd drive a long way to show to her.
17366Mrs. Sharon K. Hanson55.0011Jan 21, 2025KeeshondMudpuppy
This judge has a good eye, but more importantly, she looks at the DOG, and she is kind and gentle with both the dog and handler. I would show to her anytime!
40630Mr. Kristofer A. Kelso p11.5022Jan 11, 2025workingexpert
could not find the best dog... put up the worst dogs in the ring. very political
110124Cindy J Valko2None11Jan 4, 2025Working BOH
No clue what she was looking for. Picked completely opposite dogs in each class. No consistency.in any of her picks.
26418Mr. John Constantine p52.813116Dec 23, 2024Samoyedanonymous
Had never shown to this judge before. Was pleasantly surprised to find he was watching and rewarding good movement. He gave WD and WB to half-siblings with similar movement and structure; one shown by a pro handler and the other shown by the breeder/owner. Very pleasant and would not hesitate to show to him again.
1194Mr. Norman B. Kenney p122.298754Dec 16, 2024Herding BreedAnonymous
Wow. He judged a fairly large entry of a low entry breed. He could not even get the outline of what is supposed to be a square, moderate and balanced dog right to begin with. Movement is very important in the breed and 3 of his top 4 placements had obviously poor movement. I could not even figure out what his decisions were based upon other than perhaps who he saw on the wrong end of the lead.
96319Mr. Shawn James Nichols p2xsqo2.17126Dec 13, 2024Herding Breed (Low Entry)Anonymous
There was only a single entry but it is a low entry breed. He was completely uninterested.
6094Mrs. Lorraine W. Bisso p3.781813Dec 7, 2024Sheltland sheepdogs Anonymous
She on my dns list has no idea on shelties. Doesn't know movement in our breed. Like sable doesn't look at any other color. She not pleasant. I don't think she really wanted to be there. I know 5 others sheltie handlers that will not show to her again. You make up your own mind but I have her on my DNS list
91790Mr. Duff M. Harris14.0044Dec 2, 2024boxeranonymous
ABSOLUTELY ABSURD... I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING LOWER THAN A "1"....CERTAINLY DOESN'T JUDGE DOGS...
26418Mr. John Constantine p12.813116Nov 22, 2024Non Sportinganonymous
I will not show to this judge again. He clearly had not read our standard prior to judging. The dog he put up was incorrectly colored and did not exhibit the hallmark of our breed.....spectacles. His other placements showed no consistency or type. The dog he put up in our breed was dumped by him in the group. To be fair, I watched him judge several breeds and groups. Same thing, no consistency or type. He had multiple top winning dogs in his ring and he dumped most of them. One of the dogs he dumped in our breed judging he gave an OH G1. I do not know if he is trying to assert power or is just ignorant of breed standards, but I will not enter under him in the future.
7380Ms. Dyane M. Baldwin p12.8366Nov 20, 2024Anonymous
Handlers' judge. Barely looks at unknown faces from the instant they walk into the ring, even if they have excellent dogs.
2675Mr. Desmond J. Murphy p12.096636Nov 18, 2024Great Dane BOH
Never even examined my bitch. He just ran his hand down her back and told me to do the down and back. Then had the nerve to turn his back on us and never even watched us move. Just made the top of my DNS list
6065Dr. Steve Keating p112.3413787Nov 17, 2024All BreedsAnonymous
Clearly, someone has said something to this judge, or he's somehow become aware of his reputation for NOT watching gaiting, because at the last few shows (several clusters) that I've seen him judge, he has COMPLETELY changed that aspect of his judging. When previously he was widely known for never watching a dog gait and looking outside the ring or elsewhere during individual gaiting and simply ignoring the go-round, he now will actually look at the dogs as they gait the down and back!!! SUCH a HUGE change for this judge!!! He was always consistent in not watching the gaiting, AND for placing dogs accordingly, with no regard for good movement. While his placements have not really changed (still erratic and no value placed on moving well), AT LEAST he now goes through the motions of Looking at the dogs as they gait. So perhaps a small improvement!
62237Dr. Joyce Dandridge p23.2546Nov 15, 2024ChowsRockland
Handler or known face judge!
100299Ms. Dawn Hitchcock22.6733Nov 15, 2024Chows & Several Non-Sporting breedsRockland
Not consistent with selections, gives each exhibit a good look not sure what she is looking for. Standard ring procedure. Handled large entries well, not smooth but controlled. Speaks to quietly. Chow breed standard states the breed is aloof, so she should not expect each entry to pay attention to her. 2 of 4 specials didnt, and she seemed put off by that. Very obvious if she does not care for your entry.
4908Mr. Lawrence C. Terricone p3.30239Nov 15, 2024Herding BreedAnonymous
At a rather large show, he was running way behind. He was chatting with those inside and outside of the ring. It seemed as though he was more interested in socializing than judging the dogs. Selected as Best of Breed, the dog with the best known handler (looking back at my notes, this seems to be what he has done each time my dogs have shown to him).
90228Mr. Rick Blanchard13.0053Oct 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.
95923Dr. Loui Reyes11.0011Oct 22, 2024Chinese Cresteds Anonymous
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 p1xsqo2.17126Oct 12, 2024American cockers Sandra Houle
Picked the handlers and the worst moving dogs
20217Mr. Larry C. Abbott p23.002115Oct 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 Biot5j03.227827Sep 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 p33.322211Sep 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 p13.185131Sep 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.
