| Puts up what she likes and advocates for the dog. Had a very well known pro handler handling a bitch that was extremely fearful and hand to be dragged on the down and back and go around. The bitch went WB the previous day under a different judge but in Ms. Liebes ring she did not tolerate the poor bitch being dragged and excused the handler. I may not have the type she likes but I highly respect her for advocating for the dog. Seems to like a nice expression and typey head, will put a deserving puppy over specials. I would show to her any day, wonderful judge. | ||||||||

| Very nice judge. Pleasant and watched her all day judge various breeds and she appeared to be picking dogs with good movement and true to the standard. Not political. | ||||||||

| Her hand and arm movements are very exaggerated and dramatic during the exam. She moves them in and out in big sweeping movements that can scare puppies and young dogs. I would not bring inexperienced dogs to her. | ||||||||

| Ignorant and Clueless to the Dalmatian standard and based her choices on the face at the other end of the lead and not the best dog. Not at all pleasant in her attitude towards the handler or the dog and I would not recommend showing to her. | ||||||||

| One of the most pleasant judges we've shown to in a long time. Every exhibitor felt welcome and considered. Her judging was consistent with the rest of the weekend's panel. Moderate in size, properly marked and moving like the breed should. | ||||||||

| I overheard her ask a handler, "Are you mad at me?" after she placed the dog R. Nuff said... | ||||||||

| Very kind to dogs and handlers alike. Gives professional handlers benefit over others. Ring procedures are very clear. Watchs dogs down and back from the side not from the front or rear. Needs to read her standards more carefully and be aware of what breeds should and should not have. With that being said as an owner handler, I will not show to her again. | ||||||||

| Very pleasant in the ring, clear in her instructions. Her exam is rather invasive to breeds who value personal space (bent over in front of them with her face at nose level, hands running under their chest and over shoulders, dogs had to turn their heads out of her way - good way to get bitten). Watching her for two days, I honestly can not say what she looks for. She passed up lovely specimens for adequate ones fairly consistently. | ||||||||

| Judges dogs in the classes and handlers in the Breed. Based her decision on front assembly and post-sternum. Breed choice was severely out of coat but on a Pro. Very pleasant. | ||||||||

| Very small entries. She was either having a bad day or just looked at the other end of the lead. Put up a severely roach backed bitch with a Pro handler. | ||||||||

| Mrs. Liebes clearly enjoys the dogs and the job. It's a pleasure to be in the ring under an experienced dog woman, who shares a passion for dogs. Win, lose or draw, she'll get my entry every time. | ||||||||

| Love this judge! I wish all would give you your money's worth like she does! She took her time and made the right choices without being political , reason to keep showing! Will hopefully show to again!! | ||||||||

| completely ignorant of the standard for corgis and does not care to learn - her knowledge of the standard ends at the north end of the lead - consistently rewards very poor specimens handled by top guns | ||||||||

| Must like sables since she gave WB to a timid one over a very nice moving and sound blue. No handlers, with small entry. | ||||||||

| I think this judge likes to give winners to the in-experienced. She gave winners dog to a woman that had only been in the ring twice and the woman was uncertain as to what the ring procedure was, this was at a regional specialty. Very pleasant lady and would show to her again. | ||||||||

| Very pleasant and nice. Gave WB to our nice girl with our 11-year-old son handling. | ||||||||

| Ms Luna loves to see a typey dog. Will place a beautiful dog who may be puppy stupid over a better trained one. She knows good movement. Loves her bitches. Will place a superior dog lower if a bit fat. She likes to see them fit. Placed a child exhibitor 1st in class of 50. (Got reserve because she needed weight off, but told us so we knew to try her again with this bitch) Like her very much! | ||||||||

| This is an incredibly nice lady. My young dog pee'd in the ring and she went over and helped the ring stewards clean it up. now, that's a nice judge!! I feel she gave my dogs their 2 mins, would show to her again. | ||||||||
