Judges Education Programme (Breed Shows)
A new system has been developed for the education, approval and listing of every level of judge, from those who aspire to judge, right through to open show judges and those who go on to award Challenge Certificates and judge championship show groups, and Best in Show. The system has been designed taking account the feedback received from exhibitors, show societies and judges.
