Dealing with Angry Exhibitors or Parents

“When I first started judging, I thought I would please everyone.  Obviously, that does not happen.  As a matter of fact, I have had folks mad at me after a show that had the grand champion because I did not talk their animal right or maybe they thought they should have won more with other animals.  It is the nature of the game.  In most cases, I do not get confrontational.  Just listen and try to again give them your thoughts, but in most cases just let them vent.  I could tell several stories on this subject just like most all judges.” – Jack Ward
