He began showing these dogs as a very young man. Mr. Bauer, AKC judge #5800, was very popular as an accomplished conformation judge in many breeds.

"In 2007 he judged the Non-Sporting Group at the Westminster KC.

Richard Bauer is slated to preside at the following dog shows posted by AKC through October 2010: http://tinyurl.com/y9mh8j7  No other information is known publicly at this time."

Helen Lee James, another well respected AKC judge, sums up his passing eloquently, "He was a tremendous contributor to our breed and the sport of dogs over many years involvement, starting when he was very young.

"I, for one, will miss his infectious smile and his sense of humor. We will all miss him very much."
