picks were okay, but was quite confused by the entry and placements, needed to be corrected by the exhibitors about who did what.

I agree with a couple of other posts that she is definitely a handler judge & only looks at faces.

I'm always disappointed in a judge who fails to recognize a disqualifying fault in a breed and on top of that, awards the dog. This judge either missed or ignored a bad bite at a cluster show to BRT Nationals where there was a large entry, and awarded the dog with the disqualifying fault with a major reserve. Dr. Anselm on the other end of the National cluster day, found the bad bite, remarked on it, did not DQ but did not award because of it.

Did not have a dog entered but watched her judging completely. Her Winners Dog was a nice little dapple so she will use color. She lost her way in bitches choosing a mediocre standard with a weak front over better dogs. She even got reserve wrong. Her BV was the dog who is winning here now but not the best dog in the ring.

Political. Handlers only.

Politics Politics Politics... Owner handlers, don't waist your time or money. Her judging was all over the place. NEVER AGAIN Mr. & Mrs. Anselm please go read the standard again.

She like her husband is one of the few judges left who really appreciate hungarian style dogs with the natural wavy coats, wedge head, dark almond eye and leg underneath them.

Seems to care about movement, did like grooming. Size did not seem to matter on either end, large nor small.

Very educated judge, seems to love what she does. Takes her time to make the right decision. Would definitely show to her again. She likes a correctly groomed .

Was more concerned with the grooming of the entry's heads than their conformation or movement.

excellent judge! Very nice and went over every dog thoroughly. Liked movement.
