Judges: Gloria Geringer

My life in purebred dogs began in 1963 with parti color Cockers with my first dog coming from the Maribeau Kennels which was near Detroit Michigan. I finished championships on many Cockers with the Maribeau prefix before breeding on my own under the prefix under of Lancer Kennels. Besides Cockers, in the 70’s I bred and showed Pointers to American and Canadian championships. I then spent many years as an AKC licensed handler before applying to judge in 1988. As I became more involved with judging, I slowly closed my breeding program. I am currently approved to judge all Sporting, Hound, Non Sporting, Toys, Boxers and BIS. I have had the honor of judging at the ASC three times. I have judged in 23 countries from Bangkok to Moscow, South Africa to Australia, throughout the South America, China, Korea and the US. I feel judging is an honor and privilege. There is a tremendous responsibility to the breed and to the exhibitor. Each dog must be judged to the breed standard keeping in mind the purpose of the breed, always asking yourself: Can THIS dog accomplish what he was bred to do ?
