THANK YOU BREED JUDGE CINDY VOGELS
"Benny"
June 3, 2016 OH Group 




OWNER HANDLER GROUP WAS TREATED LIKE A FUN MATCH, 
where some judges think it is just for practice and it doesn't matter who wins, so put up your buddy!  As for me, if I am paying my money, and taking the time to show, I want to win.  This is not just for practice - but that is a whole other post!

Seen outside the OH TOY GROUP RING: 
OH TOY GROUP JUDGE:  MR. LEE BROWN.  
SHOW CHAIR & CLUB TREASURER
Mr. Brown spent 30 minutes prior to the OH Toy Group chatting with the Shih Tzu people outside the ring, while their dog was, of course, on the ringside table.  He made no attempt to avoid the look of impropriety.  It was blatant.  Then when it was time for the OH Group to start, he only had eyes for the Shih Tzu, when there were other beautiful dogs in the ring…the Brussels, the Pug, and of course the Havanese.  

It's one thing to put up your buddy, but you don't sit ringside and chat with them for half an hour prior to judging their dog!  This is nothing against the Shih Tzu.  It may very well have deserved the OH Group 1, but now will anyone ever really know?  Even the owner/handler…did they win because they had the best dog at that moment in time, or did they win because of time spent with the Judge?  The AKC rep was notified about this appearance of impropriety and hopefully will have a chat with Mr. Lee Brown.
