| If you watch the same breed on different days during a cluster, she will not put up the "expected dog" to win, not sure if she is trying to prove a point, or putting up faces she likes | ||||||||

| A very business like judge who seemed to just be doing a job. It may be her personality but it did not appear that she enjoyed what she was doing. Her judging was fair and consistent for medium sized dogs with good movement. I felt she judged the dogs not the handler. | ||||||||

| As the other poster said, she never smiles and is constantly frowning. This past weekend she put up handlers over nicer owner handled dogs. Her WD did not have a correct rear and looked lame in the front. Her WB looked like a dog. She is not someone I would go out of my way to show to. | ||||||||

| If you are looking for a happy, friendly judge, then Mrs. Holloway will NOT be your cup of tea. She doesn't smile or appear to enjoy judging at all. She literally is frowning the entire time (and I watched her for the breed before mine and she was the same); however, that being said - she had a clear ring procedure, but is soft spoken and puts up dogs with a beautiful profile and smooth movement.I think she leans towards putting up males for BOB. I can't say if she leans towards handlers as we only had one in the ring today and she did get WB/BOW (very deserving). I would show to her again without a problem, but go in knowing she's not a "joy" to show to - it's all business. | ||||||||

| On my DNS list after watching her give everything to the best known faces in the ring 3 shows in a row. Showed zero understanding of what a quality dog was in my breed and would put handlers over competent owner/handlers with very nice quality dogs, even if the handler's dog was untrained, out of condition and not ready to win, and not even nice to boot. Put a very average quality bitch (the type you keep at home to breed!) with a big name handler breed over a highly awarded dog special with a less known owner/handler much to the horror of everyone watching... the third time she came around in my area I saved my money and stayed home, and instead just showed the following day--when everyone demanded to know why I had not warned them to save their money too! | ||||||||

| Very slow judging, but found all the right dogs/bitches. Couldn't disagree with any of her placements. | ||||||||
