Proposed Judges Approval Process – Feedback Requested by May 21, 2015

Dear Fellow Purebred Dog Lover,

In October we asked for your comments and suggestions on a new Judging Approval Process. We received over 750 thoughtful comments. The vast majority of the comments (82%) expressed high approval of the proposal but there were areas where very good suggestions were made to make the proposed Judge Approval Process even better. We have considered all of these suggestions and are now ready to share the results of our work.

We believe this final draft reflects the needs of our exhibitors, current and prospective judges, our show-giving clubs, and our breeders. It incorporates an enhanced judge mentoring role for our Executive Field Representatives to help create a nurturing environment for growth in breed knowledge and judging skills. It provides expanded breed educational opportunities to meet the education requirements, and it restores the interview for all breeds regardless of experience level. We believe these enhancements, taken together, provide for accountability and competency that was referenced in some of your comments.

Your feedback in October was invaluable and we hope you can see how it has helped shape this final version. The AKC Board will be considering the final version for approval at its June, 2015 meeting. If you have any further thoughts please send them by May 21, 2015 so that they may be considered.

On a personal note I appreciate very much your participation in our sport, your support of the American Kennel Club, and most importantly your love of purebred dogs.

Ron Menaker
Chairman
American Kennel Club Board of Directors
