The sayings, “Actions speak louder than words,” and “It’s not what you say, but how you say it,” are popular adages for good reason. Our silent body language speaks volumes, but we may not always be aware of what we’re saying with it. The way we hold ourselves, our gestures, and even how we make eye contact can make a huge difference in how people perceive us.

This test has taken the internet by storm with its astonishing accuracy. Find out what this test reveals about your personality. Experts emphasize that the way you perceive and evaluate others says a lot about your own character. Research shows that people who often evaluate others negatively are more prone to anxiety and self-doubt, while those who are more empathetic tend to be more confident. This is because our worldview and perception of others is a direct reflection of our own personality.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, June 2021 issue. The AKC Breed Standard states: “The Sussex Spaniel has a somber and serious appearance, and its fairly heavy brows produce a frowning expression.” The “somber and serious” part is misleading. People often say, “Oh, he looks so sad,” when a Sussex is just standing there thinking about what sort of mischief he can get into next.

Making Choices In Impossible Situations: The Challenge of Sorting Subpar Quality. When you judge, you have an opportunity to show the depth of your knowledge to those who entered to you for your opinion. The more you judge, the more opportunities you have to hone your craft and train your eye to sort and reward quality. Well, that is the theory at least!

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, July 2017 issue. We have been asked to write about the Newfoundland Dog. My name is Kim Griffith, Owner, Breeder, and Handler of Newfoundlands for over 50 years. My wife and best friend, Gigi, has lived with the Newfoundland for nearly 40 years. I am a member of the Newfoundland Judges Education committee, and we are both mentors. This breed is dear to our hearts, and our experience in the breed is both in working events and in conformation. The Newfoundland is first and foremost a “people” dog. These dogs love to rest or work beside their owners. They are great caregivers and nurturers of the small and the weak.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, October 2013 issue. Breeders, exhibitors, and spectators will not envy the job of the judges when it comes to this breed. This being a fairly rare breed, as a judge, you won’t be seeing a large number of them at any one show for a while, and it will be difficult to grasp the standard’s definitions regarding the following specific areas. When judging the Wirehaired Vizsla, the thought that they are a Vizsla with a wire coat needs to be the farthest thing from your mind. Just as the German Shorthair Pointer and a German Wirehaired Pointer are two distinct breeds, so are the Vizsla and the Wirehaired Vizsla. The Wirehaired Vizsla originated back in the 1930s from a combination of breeds.
