Judge Scott Lucken 
I got involved in dogs in 1980 with Doberman Pinschers, I think I dabbled in almost every Performance Event from Flyball, Tracking, Schutzhund. In 1996 I saw my first stock dog trial and was hooked. I got my start with George Conboy, an old timer.  I have run in USBCHA trials. I became an AKC Herding Judge in 2002.  I have finished five dogs to herding Champion. I enjoy judging as much as competing in trials. I’d like to thank you for inviting me to judge your specialty.
