I thought it might be good to start a conformation judge review thread. I think it might be helpful to list our observations and give others a heads up about what a judge might like or not like. This of coarse can not be the total truth about a judge, only our personal opinion and a small window into what it is like to show under them. It would be great if people who add to this thread could cut and paste so that we have one alphabetized list to review.
Mrs. Lydia Coleman Hutchinson
Very thorough examination of dog. Does not seem to have a color preference or bias. I would ABSOLUTELY show color to this judge. Not looking for flash-n-dash. She will put up a solid, sound dog. She wants to see a steady well trained dog who is happy to be in the ring. She won't overlook shy, skitsie, nervous or poor behavior. She seems to favor a mature poodle in full coat. I would absolutely show to her again.
Mrs. Helen Lee James
Very thorough examination of dog. Made a specific point of checking texture of coat. Looked like she may have had words with a few exhibitors about the "over use" of hairspray... she wants them sprayed up but not shellacked!. She seems to like flashy, stylish Poodles with big picture movement. I would say that she would look at color, but that Black is her first love. I would show to her again, though I'd be wishing the whole time I had a real flyer to wow her with
