10 Questions ...

1. Do you have any dog-show superstitions?  
Nope

2. TV-show guilty pleasure? 

  Anything streaming on BritBox, especially police procedurals

3. If you were president of AKC for one day, what would you do?  

Make a list of items for consideration for next day’s president.  These would include such things as reducing offering multiple shows in one day, consider offering parallel competitions for altered/spayed dogs leading to CH status, clarifying rules for Best Puppy awards to include winners of BBE Puppy (a source of a great deal of confusion at some specialties, currently), and capping judge fees to legitimate expenses (specified) plus $1/dog entered.  This last will cause mayhem in the judging community but is worth a conversation to keep club/exhibitor expenses in some moderation.  Reasonable people may disagree but we remember that the customer is the exhibitor and the customer’s concerns should be prioritized.

4. Most valued material possession? 

Besides my perfect dogs, it would be my wedding ring from my late husband.

5. What is something no one would guess about you? 

I find reptiles fascinating and have held the head and first couple of feet of a Burmese python for a demonstration at a zoo.
 

6. Who would you compare yourself to?
No one and I’m sure no one compares themselves to me.
 

7. What are you “famous” for?  

Speaking my mind, especially truth to power.
 

8. What are your thoughts on Social Media?
A blessing and a curse.
 

9. What was more memorable, your most satisfying win or disappointing defeat? And what was it? 

Placing in the former Working Group in the early 1970s (before the group split) with my Belgian Tervuren.  Those were halcyon days!
 

10. What do you wish someone  would ask you?
Would you like this elixer which will make your body feel like 40 again and with no adverse side effects?
