Judge Info - Brenda Taylor

Showdog.com Judge Since Saturday, February 7, 2009
Retirement Announced 4/30/2009

Not very political. Moderate 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.

A conformation dog show is not a comparison of one dog to another but a comparison of each dog to a judge's mental image of the ideal breed type as outlined in the individual breed's breed standard.
