| Put up the biggest, coarsest dogs in the ring, with a special emphasis on big-name male handlers. Ignored a dog who'd gone BIS the day before. | ||||||||

| Seemed off his game & confused. I was surprised that he actually examined the dog's mouths himself in this day and age of the flu epidemic & guidelines from AKC. He watched each dog carefully and was gentle on examination. Placements completely confusing, told select dog she should have won & then gave our dog (male) select bitch. | ||||||||

| I didn't enter under him in OKC as I expected him to be a handler judge. He surprised me and picked a really nice puppy from a large line up shown by Owner Handler. | ||||||||

| He knows what he likes and in my breeds judges dogs. He is thorough and likes to see excellent movement. He also likes to see great expressions and a show dog attitude. | ||||||||

| I know he is a ex-handler but he is not very good in the ring. I do not know what he is looking at but he does not know the standard. He is a handler judge and does not look at the dog or movement. I will not show to him again. A big disappointment and waste of money. | ||||||||

| handler, handler, handler and especially his favorite handlers. I will not show to this man again. Doesn't truly know the correct conformation of a PWD. | ||||||||

| Will put up standard sized good moving | ||||||||

| Very through in his review. A movement judge. In our rare breed knows the standard and rewarded it consistently. Picks correct structure and movement over large dogs. | ||||||||

| This makes the second time I've shown to this judge & seems not to care who is on the other end of the lead & am an OH. I was pleased with the way he judged, looks for movement. Gentle with puppies & instructed some of the newbeies on how to handle their puppies. | ||||||||
| Jun 2, 2014 | 5 | Kim Gremes | Standard Schnauzer | |||||
| Runs an efficient ring. Very pleasent judge to show to. Puts up what he wants no matter who is at the end of the lead. Not heavy handed but does expect the dogs to behave in the ring. | ||||||||
| Mar 11, 2014 | 1 | redstaff | Terriers | |||||
| He didn't seem interested in what he was doing, rushed thru and placed the expected ones. I overheard him tell the handler of one dog he gave BOB to "thanks for bringing him - I love this dog" The dog is overweight, fiddle fronted, hammock topline. I did not see what he was seeing. UPDATE* He was rude and pompous to a visiting judge whose family has been in the breed for generations. We are done with this guy. | ||||||||

| Sent a lame dog to BIS, where it was properly ignored. Prefers a terrier front in every breed when he is looking at the dog. | ||||||||

| Have shown to this judge several times. Doesn't seem to completely know the breed and correct type. There were several correct breed types to choose from. Seems to play politics.. I have given him enough tries. On my DNSL | ||||||||
| May 20, 2012 | 3 | jjok | Terrier Group | |||||
| He is hard to read when he is judging. In the Terrier group he did minimal if any exams. Although he had judged all of the Terriers that day he should have at least faked some type of exam. Not sure I will show to him again. | ||||||||

| At one time I was a fan of this judge but after watching him judge this past weekend I am no longer. Dumped the number one long and the number 2 smooth in what I can only assume was for shock value. Did the same tyoe of nonsense in other breeds. Very disppointed in him. 6-26-14. Gave Mr Cody another entry and was again amazed at his flagrantly political decisions. Think twice about wasting your money unless you plan on hiring a handler. | ||||||||

| probably CAN judge DOGs, but so rarely does he's decidedly on my DNS list | ||||||||

| Knows how to judge the breed and can but depending on his mood, will play the handler game. You never know if he will play fair or favorites. | ||||||||

| Found this judge to have great ring presence. Gave my bitch RW. While I think he bowed to the handler presence in the ring, I would consider showing to this judge again. | ||||||||
| Oct 19, 2010 | Crystal Stock | Boxers | ||||||
| Great Judge! Very patient with puppies and really looks for a good moving well balanced dog. Awarded my puppy dog BOW and even was considering him for breed over a well known special and handler. Will definitely show to again | ||||||||
| Oct 14, 2010 | 2 | annon | working | |||||
| showed to him earlier this year, I think he "wants" to understand my breed better as we had an after judging conversation to discuss this low number breed. He correctly identified the virtues of my special, but yet awarded BOB to another lacking in faults but possessing little virtue. I'll give him another chance.......... but only one - Okay, He had his next chance, will be on my DNS list from now on, ignored a very nice class dog (uncropped) in favor of a much lessor quality c/d exhibit. Crossed over major when it wasnt warranted, has his favorite handlers and rewards them regardless of their exhibit | ||||||||

| This judge was very patient with puppies. He gave you plenty of time to set up your dog or even re-stack if needed. No rushing. | ||||||||
