Judge Info - Brenda Moore

Showdog.com Judge Since Sunday, February 28, 2010
Retirement Announced 5/31/2012

Doesn't like using the same breeds that win every other show for BIS. Not political at all. Moderate level of breed bias. Thinks a dog needs to earn its championship before it should even be considered for best of breed.

Did you know?
A specialty show may be regional or national. A "Best in Show" win at a national specialty show is tremendously prestigious, indicating that the winning dog or bitch triumphed at a contest which attracted entries from the most serious fanciers of that breed in the country or continent. Some specialty shows attract international entries.
