SV judges, a question - Page 1

What are the rules about showing under SV judges? For example, are you permitted to show under a judge that has bred and/or owns your dog or the dog's sire or dam? I'm not quite sure what is going on with some of the posters to this board, but the best thing might be to just ignore them and not respond thus giving them the attention they crave so much. Congratulations to all with dogs that did well in Nashville. Job well done!!

Thanks, Saoa. Is that because there are so few SV judges? It seems like a conflict of interests. Winning a high placement under the man (I assume there are no female SV judges) who bred the dog? No wonder people line up with money in hand to purchase from SV judges LOL. They have a good thing going for them. They would be like the Bush (or Kerry) family having the sole decision over who is going to be the next President. Since you said "in Germany", I assume that is not practiced in the US?
