| Very Kind to dogs and exhibitors. She wants good movement, balance, and outline that is true to that breed's standard. | ||||||||

| She was very thorough in her exams (the most thoroughIhave seen from any judge), very pleasant, willing to give feedback. Seemed to have good knowledge of the standard. Balanced reach and drive in a good moving dog seemed to be priority. As always form follows function | ||||||||

| Agreed do not show list if you have a tail. She puts that above movement and structure. Unlike true sporting dog judges they look past a tail and pick structure and movement. This judge weak but nice. Waste of money | ||||||||

| Unfortunately would not show to her again. She has no idea what is structurally correct. I wish I could attach the video of dogs moving. Has no idea of movement or fronts, nothing breed. I did stay and watch more of her judging and watched her judge cockers. It was so so obvious the best one in the ring was, yes it had a tail but structure movement so surpassed the others. She could not find it. I guess FYI if you have an awesome dog and it has a tail don’t show to this judge. I guess does not like tails? | ||||||||

| Did a detailed head exam and paid serious attention to movement. Needed movement and good breed type, seemed to have good understanding of the standard. | ||||||||

| Enjoy show my dog to her. Friendly and patient! She took her time did not rush. She knew the standard and looked at the dog instead of the handler, would show to her again! | ||||||||

| Very questionable, in my opinion, to be the show chair and give yourself a judging assignment needed to complete license requirements. But that is what she did. She also much prefers dogs to bitches even if the bitch is the better representative of the breed. | ||||||||

| Could not make up her mind which always makes me think they don't know the standard or what they want. Odd ring procedure. Will give her one more try, but then that's it. | ||||||||

| I showed boxers today to this judge and was very disappointed. She had previously given my bitch a reserve so I thought going into it that she liked the style of my girl. Well first of all while judging another class she changed the order, significantly three times before making her final choice...not a good sign. In that class she gave the bitch that had taken first in the class every other day, and the clear front runner, fourth which was last. She did the same thing with my bitch, fourth, last in her class when she had won the class every other day. Then she put up a very poor example of the breed for WB. Her poor choices carried into the breed ring as well. EVERYBODY around the ring was livid and MANY complained to the AKC rep. It was very clear that this judge had no clue about the breed she was judging. She won't get another entry from me! | ||||||||
