In order to progress from Level 1, judges will need to attend a BREED APPRECIATION DAY (BAD) and pass a MULTIPLE CHOICE EXAMINATION (MCE). In order to take the MCE judges must meet Level 1 criteria
Breed Clubs are required to hold these days every two years. Details for any organised seminars will be posted here.
In order to progress a judging career you will need to steward regularly at dog shows. Most canine societies are always looking for trainee or experienced stewards and if you are willing to help out it is always worth contacting any local societies and offering your services.
There are ring stewarding seminars that you can attend and the Kennel Club Academy also has an online video and quiz on ring stewarding
RING STEWARDING
We will keep details below of any clubs or societies in the south east that specify in their schedules or online that they are looking for stewards (although you can always contact any show secretary or any breed club of any breed to offer your services - most will jump at the offer!) - please contact the club officials directly if you are interested:
