Judge Info - Ruth Miller
Showdog.com Judge Since Thursday, May 31, 2012
Retirement
Announced 3/31/2013
Shows a slight bias toward bitches over dogs. 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 a dog needs to earn its championship before it should even be considered for best of breed.
