| Does not know the breed standard. Put up poor quality over much better entries (none were my dogs nor connected to me in any way, don't know the owners). Definitely NOT looking at movement. Oddly, this judge insisted that everyone squish onto ONE side of the regular-sized ring, even though there clearly wasn't enough space (even without considering covid) for that many dogs. Dogs literally had their heads extending six inches over the tail of the dog ahead of them, (the tails were within four inches of the chest of the dogs behind) in the best of breed ring. WHY?!?!?! The judge seemed perfectly capable of turning her head to view both sides of the ring and could have allowed the dogs to use two mats. She told everybody to move onto the one mat, it was not a misunderstanding by the handlers. | ||||||||

| A very unpleasant judge and never smiles. Runs her ring like a drill sergeant. Even the steward was intimidated by her. She likes whatever she likes even if it's not the best example of the standard. I won't be entering under her again. | ||||||||

| Simply went through the motions. If you aren't a handler don't bother. And she ran her ring that way as well. She gave every special with a handler an opportunity to free stack but simply turned her back on the owner handler when it came to their turn. Waste of money | ||||||||

| Ms. Threlfall may not be the friendliest judge but she knew what she liked and I agreed with her choices even though my hound didn't win. I would try again the next time she's judging in this area. | ||||||||

| Judged our Nationals in Denver- did an excellent job. Thorough, efficient, and doesn't care who's on the other end of the lead. Knows the breed inside and out (as you would expect!) | ||||||||

| Showed to her on a Very Hot late afternoon in CO. She was quick, knew what she liked & seemed to go with a solid moving animal in Vizslas. Watched her in other breeds & the same seemed to be true there. Tended to give the points to the Bred-By class winners that day. I'll show to her again. | ||||||||
