Very nice person. Very political. Will pick her handler friend always. Looks at the person not the dog anymore. I have won under Hermes y ti.e in the past. Not anymore, no entree from me | ||||||||

Definitely very political and chummy with professional handlers. | ||||||||

After all I read I didn't know what to expect really, but I wasn't disappointed... Had two dogs in her ring - first timer puppy bitch, 7 month old AND in heat. Couldn't be more complicated combination, however... not a problem with correct judge. No, puppy didn't win, but got a great first time ring experience. On other hand, our OH special bitch got the Breed over other special with professional handler. Only watched her closely judging our breed, but totally agree with all choices. It was pleasant experience. | ||||||||

In my 20 years as a breeder/owner/handler, this is probably one of the worst judges. If you are an owner/handler, save you $$. She will only put up handlers, and prefers only 1 color in our breed. She is totally inept at making a decision if a handler is not on the dog. She gave winners bitch to the worst possible example of the breed because there was a face on the dog. There were a lot of very unhappy people in her decisions at this show. | ||||||||

Consistent in her picks with color and type, unfortunately it is not close to what the breed standard requires. My suggestion, if you have a cream that crawls around the ring and is scared of its own shadow---enter it under her and you will get some points. | ||||||||

She does it again. No entry but observed her putting up a chronic Ring Jockey from New England with sub standard and poorly groomed dogs. DNS | ||||||||

Sorry to say this judge has no idea what movement or carriage should be on a poodle, or the standard, she needs need to go back to school or retire | ||||||||

Wish I could give this Bit#% a score lower than a 1!! She is rude, unpleasant and I wish I could say what I really think of her. She put up a terrible harl dog for winners dog that paced all around the ring, then gave it best of winners over a nice fawn bitch handled by a jr. not crossing over the major. This judge needs to stay in Canada. Never ever showing to her again. There was many complaints about her from almost ever breed she judged over the weekend. | ||||||||

She leaned over my dog while taking a big step toward her while at the same time grabbing my dog's mouth to look at bite. This spooked my dog pretty badly as this judge's size alone is intimidating and she limps. So my dog thought she was going to fall on top of her! She also messed up another handler's dog on the same day, previous class, by baiting it with chicken! Very unprofessional. I would NEVER show under her again. | ||||||||

Have shown my dogs to her both myself and with handler, with excellent results. In spite of what I hear said about he judging faces rather than dogs, I have always seemed to show under her on the day(s) she judged the dogs. Will show to her whenever the opportunity presents itself. | ||||||||

Have only showed to her once, I was a relatively new exhibitor and was the only non Pro in the ring of 7 bitch exhibits. She gave me WB for my first points on the bitch out of the bred by class. Was pleasant to show to. I would show to her again | ||||||||

Political, only top handlers. If you want to buy yourself a win, absolutely hire top handler. Last AKC show she did not care that are two magnificent male specials in the ring. She put up bitch lacking head and pigment and obviously her muzzle was painted excessively.(alteration by artificial means)but heavily advertised and with top handler. What a shame, even a several class dogs were better than her BOB choice. | ||||||||

Do not show to or hire. Only put handlers up watched her judge other breeds she did the same. No understanding of our breed and doesn't seem to care. Put a 10 month old puppy to breed with a handler over three owner handled specials including mine who is a National Specialty breed winner. Really bad for our breed and bad for the sport. Bad case of "Handler Syndrome" | ||||||||

Watched her judge a large entry in several breeds - she didnt seem to understand breed type in any of the rings I saw - No idea what she was doing really. Her BOB choices were lacking in breed type, far too heavy and not well moving. Apparently she was just going by color as this was her only consistency today in several terrier breeds. Certainly not interested in a breed standard. *UPDATE* 2 years later - still no clue on breed type. All over the place with size, type, movement, soundness. Had some lovely exhibits to select from and couldnt find them. All handlers today. | ||||||||

Very consistent. Showed to hear several times over the years, with a good bit of time (and geography) in between and she's always found dogs of the same style/type. | ||||||||

understands type & rewards it in the classes, tho predicably points to the "big winner" for BOB, even tho less campaigned dogs were better examples of the breed. Would show to again, especially puppies & class dogs, rewards owner handlers with nice dogs over pros with mediocre class entries. | ||||||||

great with puppies. will put up wholecolors. Took WB over several well known handlers out of the Bred By class. | ||||||||

Appreciates and understands movement and the importance of topline in this breed. Pleasant would show to anytime. | ||||||||

Did not understand collie breed type. Was pleasant enough in the ring. | ||||||||

Consistent, uses a puppy if they are the best. Very pleasant. Judges the dogs not the handler. | ||||||||

Likes a good topline. Good with puppies. | ||||||||

Likes this breed and will even use them in the Group ring. Wants sound movement with lots of lift and break. Good on the table. | ||||||||

Kind with dogs and great with puppies. However, we disagreed with each of her winning selections in class and breed. |
