Judge Info - Willian Crutchfield

Showdog.com Judge Since Sunday, September 30, 2007
Retirement Announced 12/31/2009

Actually prefers to see the owner of the dog handling it. Moderate level of breed bias. Thinks dogs should be compared to how good they are vs the rest of their breed rather than overall quality vs all dogs.
