I was at a show earlier in the year and I've been waiting for the critique, however after contracting dog world today the judge hasn't submitted one (he did the whole gundog group as well!).
Anyway is there any way I could contact him to ask if he has it? (I.e. is there a list of contract details for judges somewhere?) I did look on the KC site but there were 3 with his name and I didn't see kennel names to find the correct one.
Shame as he appears a lot in searches of gun dog judging

Sadly there are quite a few judges that do not submit critiques or they are too late to make the papers
We have a number that we are waiting for >:(

Agree. when I used to show some of the critiques never went in, having asked a judge at another show had they submitted one for a certain show, they replied yes they had and it was sent in time but never printed :huh:

When accepting a judging appointment judges are usually required to sign a contract with the society offering the appointment. This usually requests that the judge submits a critique.
It is disappointing when judges fail to do this. I also know from experience that sometimes critiques don't get printed; sometimes they appear to have been abbreviated and sometimes they appear a long time after submission- especially in the busier show periods. The dog press does prefer submissions within their deadlines- not unreasonable.

This particular judge definitely hasn't submitted one to Dog World. I've contacted Our Dogs to see if it's been submitted, but I'm waiting to hear back.
