Judge Info - Paul Phillips
Showdog.com Judge Since Thursday, September 30, 2010
Retirement
Announced 1/31/2013
Has a tendency to use dogs handled by certain handlers but isn't overt in it. Low level of breed bias. Thinks dogs should be compared to how good they are vs the rest of their breed rather than overall quality vs all dogs.
