The 2009 panel of judges:
Type Canaries Mr. Don Perez from
Chicago, IL.

York, N.Y.
Melanins, all Mr. RomainThiels from Belgium
Song, Spanish Timbrados Mr. Rafael Ortiz from Cordoba, Spain
Song, American Singers Mr. Sam Can from New Jersey
Many breeders said they were awed by and appreciated the
informative ways all our judges explained details of the birds they
were judging. Judges gave valuable insights and specific details
about breeding and showing winning birds that all participants,
newbies and experienced alike, highly valued and will use this very
next season! From all of us present, Thank you judges!
 An
example was the work of the Type Canary Judge, Mr. Don Perez.
Don used an easel to display magnificent, highly detailed drawings
of each Type bird with specifics on every feature of that
breed. These were standards of perfection desired and valuations for
faults and shortcomings. Further, Don had these and other
information on a portable computer which he would use now & then to
further illustrate or highlight certain details and fully answer
questions from the gallery of breeders and exhibitors keenly
watching and listening to his judging process.
Newbies were treated to specific and detailed explanations of proper
show cage presentation and why these details play a crucial role in
enabling fine birds to fully "show off" their best attributes.
To many these eye opening, up close and detailed teachings will pave
their paths to success at future shows! More than one said,
"This is how Shows should work all the time!"
The Lone Star Club has always worked with
its chosen Judges to supply such value added to our participants.
Plan to come to Texas next October to experience it yourself!
