Owner Ricardo Carbajal Judges in Argentina:
Besides the Sieger Show in Germany, the other place on earth where quality and quantity comes together in incredible lineups is Argentina. Many well known German judges have expressed clearly that Argentine breeding can only rival that of their mother country.
That is why being invited to judge a national event in that country was to me the crowning moment of my career thus far. Being solely responsible for the accurate placing of close to two hundred dogs in a single day's event challenged every ounce of my skill and knowledge.
But a judge is also judged. Every aspect of his performance: from his demeanor, to his command of the ring, to the correct application of the standard and the authority he or she exudes is under constant scrutiny. Peers, friends, fellow judges and the watchful eye of breeders who, like in no other part of the world save Germany, know almost as much as those who officiate feel like burning eyes in the back of your neck as classes larger than life enter the ring in full majesty.
The task was grueling, required great concentration but in the end, the wide smiles and hearty handshakes of the majority of participants and fellow judges plus the enthusiastic promises of future invitations was the greatest gift I could have ever received.
Thanks to my peers in Argentina for this honor.
