| Either unaware of show procedures or very contrary and biased. I had a conflict and asked that I could move the one any only dog in a breed to the beginning of a time period. He resolutely said no. Had I been a handler, this request would have been allowed. I will never show to him again nor will I suggest to my handling students that they enter under him. | ||||||||

| Terrible judge. Dr Krause doesn't understand what Ridgebacks were meant to do. the biggest dog isn't necesarily the best dog. He doesn't understand movement, nor does he know our breed standard. | ||||||||

| He should be embarrassed with his judging. My advice would be to hire a KNOWN handler as he doesn't consider the dogs. The best dogs were left standing. Sir, this breed should be able to MOVE. Time to retire. | ||||||||

| Haven't shown to Dr. Krause in several years. Dogs were a little hesitant of his smell when he came up to check teeth. He was pleasant enough with everyone, didn't seem to be political and put up best dogs. Only complaint, is that he wouldn't go to the main photo setup with nice backdrop for a dog who finished his championship that day. | ||||||||

| Dr Krause was very good with a 1st day in the ring 6 mo puppy today. Got bait from handler and treated puppy until she relaxed. Had handler show teeth, more bait to puppy after down & back. Didn't put up puppy but certainly gave her a good experience. Refreshing to see a judge do this... | ||||||||

| Couldn't tell what he was looking for in regards to type. Did not seem political - I just didn't consistency in what he put up.... | ||||||||

| At the illinois cluster, he decided it was five o'clock somewhere at about 2 CST. | ||||||||

| He judges greyhounds to the standard. Appreciates pretty & good movement. Seems to like a smaller bitch that is feminine but in coursing condition. Doesn't care who is on the lead and will put up kids with a good dog over others. Good man... good judge. | ||||||||

| Dr Kraus is both rude and heavy handed...ladies wear your short skirts and low cut blouses..it seems that is all he cares about! | ||||||||

| To me, movement especially side is important to him. Placed a 9 year old veteran bitch High in Group over Top Ranked Dogs Specials. REcognized type and movement and commented on he appreciates a nice moving dog. | ||||||||

| Found my substantial, well angluated, masculine boy both as an immature puppy and an adult special with me as a novice owner handler on the end of the lead. Loves a big side gait and clean down and back. Will forgive an ugly head and puppies being puppies. Also, likes to put up dogs from BBE. Would go out of my way to show to him again. Very kind, very fair, very consistent and very thorough judge. I feel he knows our standard well. | ||||||||

| Has put up natural eared Danes. Appears to judge the dog, not who is at the end of the lead. Seems to like a balanced, nice moving dog, and appreciates a nice head piece. | ||||||||
