Judge Info - Jeff Dunbar
Showdog.com Judge Since Sunday, September 30, 2012
Retirement
Announced 3/31/2016
Doesn't like using the same breeds that win every other show for BIS. Not very political. Relatively high level of breed bias. Thinks a dog needs to earn its championship before it should even be considered for best of breed.
