Judges

All judging enquiries and applications to be made to Breed Education Co Ordinator (BEC)

Mrs Linda Firth – email linda.firth@sky.com 

2 systems run in tandem until 31 December 2025 after which the only route for judges to progress will be the Judges Education Programme

  1. The Traditional route of progression through the B, A3, A2 & A1 Lists – this will end on 31 December 2025.
  2. The new Judges Education Programme  introduced by the  Kennel Club  on 1 January 2021. This system to appoint and progress judges was introduced by the Kennel Club in 2021.  From then until 31 December 2025 this system runs alongside the traditional route.  From 2026 there will be no need for any breed club or council to maintain judges lists but they may do so if they wish. The following explains the system in detail https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/events-and-activities/dog-showing/judging-dog-shows/

 

If you do not expect to meet the old A3 criteria by 31 December 2025 then please consider your existing qualifications and consider the criteria for the new Judges Education programme.
