Well as a person that both shows and judges all be it in the UK - I see no reason why just because you are campaigning a dog or bitch you can't also judge. The two are in different compartments in my involvement in dogs. I know you have a different system to that which we have here but I think that the AKC should be doing more to encourage breeders of Cavaliers (as a relatively new breed in AKC) to put their toe into the water and start judging. Allrounder judges have their place in judging if only to point out were a breed may be improving or deteriorating as the case may be - but you must have an equal mix of breed specialists also in order to maintain type and have people who fully understand the breed standard and its nuances.
