Judge Info - Alice Wise
Showdog.com Judge Since Friday, December 31, 2010
Retirement
Announced 1/31/2014
Not very political. Low level of breed bias. Thinks a dog needs to earn its championship before it should even be considered for best of breed. Thinks dogs should be compared to how good they are vs the rest of their breed rather than overall quality vs all dogs.
