"I just wanted to say thanks for giving me the opportunity to judge our first online show. Just back from judging our Western Cochin National in California; had a great time and the weather and birds were great, along with seeing my west coast friends. But back to the online show. Everyone who entered should be proud of themselves and all the birds you should be proud of owning. I did the best I could with the pics and remember this is just one man's opinion. Each show I am looking for that one bird that represents the Standard the best it can. Everyone should own a Standard and do the best you can to follow it. With that said good luck hatching and thanks for allowing me to critique your birds." ~Jamie Matts, Judge
"Congratulations to Joan Fullerton for taking Grand Champion of the Show with your Bantam Red Cock, and to Sanna Piispanen for taking Reserve Champion of the Show with your Bantam White Cockerel. I would like to say thank you to everyone who participated in our Premier All-Cochin Online Show! A heartfelt thanks to Jamie Matts for being our First Judge and helping work out the kinks from the judging perspective (and for putting up with me!). I would also like to thank the Cochins International Board of Directors for their support of this program. And a special thank-you goes to my "Advisors", whose advice and guidance was invaluable in getting this program started: Shylee Ackman, Nancy Compton, Bo Garrett, Craig Hansen, Jamie Matts, Shari McCollough, Erin Moshier and Tom Roebuck. I hope everyone has had fun, and learned more about your birds, showing and judging. And to the Novices, I hope this process has given you more direction toward the showhalls we know are in your future. See you all May 1st for the Spring 2013 Show!" ~Gail Carlson, Show Manager
