Any update on fixing the judges? Seems like the whole topic has gone dead and no changes.

I would personally love to see this fixed - so that it runs the way it always has. (Two judges retire each month, Two new judges each month).

I'd also like to see more Owner Handler judges.

Jeff - can we please have this fixed?

I'm missing owner handles shows too. E.g. in breeds like Kerry Blue own handles shows are urgently neccessary - because of a breeder with several kennels and about 40 dogs entering into a show.

Holy cow! I can't believe they have an entire Family Account full of Kerry Blues!?!

It's no wonder it's a struggle to show that breed! :O

I had a quick squiz and was shocked! Across the 5 kennels (Whatthe, Radiant, Sansouci, Matts, Sarah*s) they are currently sessioning or showing a total of 124 Kerry Blues.

I've never heard of such tactics before ...

Wow - sounds like a super kennel to me.

I've added a handler free specialty for Kerrys.

I have similar situations in some of my other breeds, definitely not to this degree though.

I added a few Kerry Blue Specialties as well.
Hopefully you can pick up some points. But I would be SO angry about the Point Schedule.

Regarding the judge issue - I think that all of us would like to see

> the judge issue fixed
> the BOS point issue fixed
> the Select Dog/Bitch update implemented

I hate how silent this issue has been these last few weeks, I was so hopeful that it would be fixed and everyone just went quiet.

Actually, doing show entries and sponsoring a few specialties lately. I've noticed new judges added to the list and at least one more owner handled judge. Just hasn't been a big announcement about it.

I believe those are retired judges that you're seeing. They have been popping up here and there since the judge issue started.

Regarding the silence - I don't think it's indicative that folks don't want the problem resolved. I think it's just a matter that Jeff has already stated that he will fix it; he just didn't say when.

Yes all the 'new' judges that are appearing are not new at all - they are just resurrected retired judges.

We haven't received a single NEW judge since the original issue started in May 2016.

This was the last post where we had any response:
