As an AFA Specialty Judge in training, I am very ANNOYED but what I continue to read about The AFA's Judging habits. First of all the point of judging IS to compare ferrets to one-another. I mean come on how elese would we get a first second and a third place ferret. I am currently going through training learning colors. I look for how well the ferret I am judging meets the standards that were set by the founders of the AFA. Many are willing to sit back and critisize how the judges do their job, yet those same people still are willing to fill out their entries and attend the shows. More people complain about what they think is wrong then actually do something about it. Please let us know what your concerns are....if you have questions feel free to ask.
