| After reading all of these comments, I am surprised that I showed to her. Her WD was questionable so I really didn't think we stood a chance in puppy bitches 9-12 with so many handlers. She put up for Breed, the sire of my girl, WB 4pt mjr was half sister same sire, and my girl went RWB. I would say that is pretty darned consistent. BOB, WB, RWB were all owner handled. I haven't even been in the ring for a long time and I am not known at all. WB went breed on Sunday under a breeder judge. I will definitely show to her again. | ||||||||

| Loves clamped tails,pulling away during exam anything goes if you are a handler What wrong with judging these days. witnessed it first hand disgusting ! Hope AKC wakes up an starts taking video of classes how does a judge award BOB when you can't examine the entry I get it it's not about the dogs. No wonder entries are dropping off | ||||||||

| She is interesting she had lots of facial expressions, not only did I see this many other did as well and comments were flying. She had no time for our breed. Then she was waving to the judge across the way smiling at him. Not watching the up and back. She puts up puppy over a special. | ||||||||

| She is completely a handler judge and was very obvious about it. She didn't give every exhibit equal time - handler's dogs got more time and attention than non pro handlers' dogs. DNS | ||||||||

| what a completely corrupt piece of "work" this one is. NEVER, NEVER, EVER will this judge get an entry from me again. Friends, handlers... BAD DOGS... she has no clue under the sun what a Kuvasz should look like. Never, never, NEVER..... | ||||||||

| Not qualified to judge working dogs, will award friends and Handlers only . . . what an insult to the rest of the exhibitors. | ||||||||

| Depends on the day. Sometimes I wish she'd watch her facial expressions, I once saw her literally roll her eyes at an exhibit and I don't even think she realized she was doing it. She doesn't put up with any misbehavior from a special. These are dogs, you can train forever and they're still going to be dogs! I don't think a dog should be penalized for behavior when it in no way affected the soundness or overall presentation of the dog. I will continue to show to her for now because I think she makes overall decent decisions when judging. | ||||||||

| I wont normally put a judge on my DNS list after the first time I showed to them, but I made the exception this time. The judge jsut points and expects you to know what she is thinking. I had the first dog in the ring of her assignment that day. She was rude and would not even give me a chance to get my dog together. My dog went BOW for points all 3 days before with more competition than the last day with her and he didnt even get looked at because I couldnt read her mind. The handler got WD and WB and the( other) handler that won BOB came by later and said he that was the worst judging he had seen in a long time. | ||||||||

| Seems to like the "whole" package regarding the dog. Very good with the dogs. A pleasure to show to. | ||||||||

| I think this is a good judge who is capable. IMO needs to look for a little less "clunky" dog, but many do the same and she may have learned that way. I would show to her and try to get her to see the elegance in the breed type with good sound dogs and bitches. | ||||||||
