Conformation Show Judge Recommendations

[DeiConsorti]

I'm hosting the 2008 Canadian Specialty and am looking for a good, well-respected judge. The judge should be able to judge 3 or 4 groups. I can't seem to find a database for UK judges and by the time I buy the directory, my deadline will have passed. It will be a great show, held in the Canadian Rockies with 8 shows over 4 days, agility and conformation.

The judges I am considering so far are: Bitte Ahrens, Goran Bodegard, Paul Stanton, Espen Engh, Pam Heap, Rudi Brandt, Grandi Gilverto and Paula Heikkinen-Lehkonen. Any thoughts? Any other suggestions? Feel free to send me a confidential pm if you aren't comfortable posting. I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks to the people who took the time to pm me - it's very much appreciated. It looks as though we have a judge who is fantastic (not on the list I mentioned as I hadn't reached her yet).

I am really thrilled with this judge, she is well known throughout the IG world and expect her to be a big draw. I have to wait until CKC confirmation to announce who the judge is but if you have ever wanted to see the Canadian Rockies, plan to come to Calgary, Alberta in August, 2008. There will be 6-8 conformation shows, 5 obedience and 4 agility over 4 days. You will be well taken care of I assure you!
