It is, indeed, a great honor to be chosen to judge, yes? I caught the end of the show and was quite impressed with the gentleman from Canada who was judging. I did not, however, agree with his selection of the German Shorthair---I liked Rumor and loved how she moved ('course I have no idea what I'm talking about, but used to have German Shepherds). I certainly would not want the task of deciding...!
