Judge Info - Marion Clark
Showdog.com Judge Since Monday, March 31, 2014
Retirement
Announced 5/31/2014
Very political judge, likes to see certain handlers on dogs. 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.
