| I have found her to be pleasant and clear with her instructions. Felt she was looking at correct movement and rewarded it. | ||||||||

| Showed to this judge with a small but quality entry. Again, she picked the best mover and not afraid to put up owner handler over well known handler(s). | ||||||||

| For a judge who wrote such a nice article about the dogs who closely represent the standards are overlooked because they are in the minority, she is, by far, the worst offender - watched her put up a hugely oversized dog for breed with the LEAST foxy-type head possible- he should have been a chow, with the head structure. | ||||||||

| I watched this lady judge pembrokes in Longview and put up the best movers on the day. | ||||||||

| put up mediocre entry for BOB over some lovely specials - of course, it was a judge/exhibitor! | ||||||||

| Probably the worst judge I have ever showed to. Gave her 3 chances. At one show, one of the other exhibitors (who is not a friend of mine and we are very competitive with each other) looked over at me while this judge was making her picks and we both rolled our eyes skyward. I've had people with other breeds ask me about her with a puzzled look on their faces and I've said I won't show to her nor will most of the people I know. They agreed after one experience. Do not waste your time entering under her. Clubs should stop bringing this judge in. | ||||||||

| Horribly political. Why does anyone hire her anymore? Read the shared notes and trust them. On my DNS list, save your hard earned money. | ||||||||

| pleasant enough to show to but if there is a handler in the ring forget it | ||||||||
| Mar 17, 2011 | 3 | Anon | Great Dane | |||||
| Thought she was fair, put up my natural eared dane. He was handled by a pro but she has also put up a dog from my breeding also natural eared novice owner handled. Seems like movement and pretty. | ||||||||

| This judge clearly has no concept of what makes a dog sound. She put up the worst specimen possible for WD and a friend for WB....certainly is on my do not show to again list. | ||||||||
| Jan 17, 2010 | 1 | anonymous | Bernese Mountain Dogs | Expert! | ||||
| Awful! Put up a dog that was scared to death, moves awful BUT was shown by a very well known handler. | ||||||||

| Does not know the breed. Put up a lame dog for winners who wouldn't stand for examination. Political as well. Won't waste my money on this one again. | ||||||||

| Likes Bernese to look like German Shepards too. Also appears to be political. | ||||||||

| Ms Walkowicz as expected put up sable dogs whenever possible, based seemingly from outside observation a choice of color rather than merit. Political leanings , had decent entry but didn't get the best ones to the front. DNS | ||||||||
