Pleasant judge with light hands. Enjoyed finding nice movers.

Ms. Harrington was pleasant, gave very clear instructions and ran a good ring. Her choices were all moderate dogs of average type. Bitches were one entry short of a major, there was a single pt in dogs. I did not think she found the best movers, nor the typiest individuals. She did give the O/H winners bitch BOS over 2 specials (giving her a major); all other awards went to professional handlers. Overall, I could not tell you what she looking for.

Bring her a typey puppy. Not afraid to put up a puppy over the Open exhibits.

A nice enough judge but,in a breed who's standard clearly states the breed is fearless..., alert...,"Fault- shy" she put up a CLASS animal for BOS that had very questionable temperament at best,WOULD NOT stand for exam,through a fit when touched, over several nice specials that stood for exam??? Should have been excused, the following day this same animal did the same thing but, this time snapped at the judge...Rewarding bad behavior instead of excusing dogs with bad behavior could end up getting someone hurt.

Update - previously I criticized this judge for rewarding a well built dog with fearful behavior (a fault in this breed), but gave her a second chance recently- she put up my exceptional class bitch for BOB over PH handled specials. Of particular note is that she is a natural import in a c/d breed. The two experiences made me realize that she will overlook some undesirable traits if she finds the conformation exceptional.

I entered shows because of the previous shared noted on this site. I was not disappointed. Very pleasant lady to show to. Great with dogs & gave every dog a thorough exam. I watched her with several breeds & I could see why she made her choices. I will look forward to showing under her again.

Showed to her for the first time - did not put up my dog (with good reason!) - but seemed to do a good job in my breed and others. Polite, nice to show to - will show to her again.

Very consistent in both breeds, knows the type she is looking for a finds it. I will show under her again even though my dogs did not win. She did not put up handlers just because they were handlers, only if they had the best dog.

Did not play the game, was consistent and put up what was right with balance and movement over pros! Appreciated her gentle hand with the young pups, and was very patient with a GD pup that was very rambuncious in the ring. Nice to show to.

First time I saw her she was doing a sweepstakes that was very large. I have shown to her multiple times since and she has always gotten it right. She still is relativley new to the breed, but is tops already.
