Judge Info - Peter Payne

Showdog.com Judge Since Saturday, February 7, 2009
Retirement Announced 7/31/2009

Doesn't like using the same breeds that win every other show for BIS. Has a tendency to use dogs handled by certain handlers but isn't overt in it. 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.
