Judge Info - Victor Wood

Showdog.com Judge Since Tuesday, June 30, 2015
Retirement Announced 9/14/2015

Not political at all. Doesn't show a breed bias at all. Thinks dogs should be compared to how good they are vs the rest of their breed rather than overall quality vs all dogs.

Did you know?
A specialty show is a dog show which reviews a single breed, unlike other dog shows, particularly conformation shows, which are generally referred to as "all-breed" because they are open to all breeds recognized by the sponsoring kennel club.
