Seemed like he completely phoned it in at the specialty today. In every single class, for both dogs and bitches, they came out of the ring in the same order they went in the ring. Then to top that off he completely screwed up the final lineup and it took the AKC rep and the show chair to straighten it all out. I would never enter under this judge again. Top of my DNS list for sure.

Worst judging I have ever seen at a specialty. Acted like he didn’t even want to be there. Rude and unpleasant in the ring. Never again.

Seemed to like a good mover with nice expression and alertness.

While Mr Ellis was very pleasant in the ring I cannot say I agreed with his choices. Im not quite sure what he was looking for other then possibly muzzle width. He put up dogs with improper toplines and lack of angles. And an improper head for our breed. I just could not follow his judging... We had a very low entry 4-3 and I just cant say that I could agree with some of the dogs he put up.

This man looks so unpleasant. He didn't crack a smile, not once! Not consistant in his placements.
