Salisbury NC Kennel Club, Saturday June 4, 2016, Concord, NC

BLACK RUSSIAN TERRIERS
SIPSEY - Karma's Reincarnated Roza Shanina -  2nd / Reserve Winners Bitch 
VARIAS - BEST OF BREED - made the cut in group
Thank You Breed Judge  Mr. John Constantine
Thank You Group Judge Mr. Peter Gaeta

HAVANESE 
#5 -  absent due to ring conflict - I should post his schedule for today.  An All-breed show, Working Dog Specialty, and Havanese Specialty, and to top it off, groups were split.  CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY!
TAFFY - Best of Opposite  Well, so far Miss Taffy is the most consistent loser.  4 shows, and 4 BOS.  Same male won twice, the other two shows were different males for BOS.  
Breed Judge Ms. Shelley S. Hennessy
Group Judge Mrs. Peggy Hauck - 

VERY ODD That the club would choose this judge for the Toy Group when she judges the Havanese Club Speciatly today as well.  But no surprise that the dog who won BOB (or any Havanese except as noted below) did not place in Group under this judge. 

Mrs. Hauck is definitely on our DO NOT SHOW TO list, at least with Havanese in the South East United States, or anyplace Harry Bennet may show up.  I just did a quick check on Infodog, and going back to 2005, checking 29 times that Peggy Hauck judged Havanese, EVERY time Harry has shown to her HE WON, from Ohio and Pennsylvania, to Florida.  How many judges, do you know who YOU can go to for a guaranteed win, no matter what you show.  I checked another breed as well, and results were the same for this pair.  THIS IS NOT JUST MY OPINION - THIS IS FACT BASED ON RESULTS POSTED ON THE INFODOG.COM WEBSITE.  Harry has taken up enough of my time for tonight, so do not feel like documenting any more stupid judge moves.  It's not Harry's fault.  Heck if I had a judge who I knew would put me up, I'd be showing to them all of the time too!
More details on the the post from the Havanese Specialty today.
