Judging Lists and Information
Judging Lists Update
The BSDA of GB will be revising its judges lists in the near future. Could people wishing to be included in a judging list or wanting to update us, please send their updates to Margy Pratten at concord@globalnet.co.uk as soon as possible, using this form judges_questionnaire (1).pdf. In particular, we need to hear from people on the C, B and B* lists, with numbers of dogs and shows judged, exams passed etc.
If you click on the links below the list will download to your computer.
To be placed on the C List, a person must have owned and actively participated in showing (including regular handling) of Belgian Shepherd Dogs for five years. All applicants must have attended a Belgian Shepherd Dog Club judging seminar and be aged 16 years or over.
To be placed on the B list applicants should have judged for three years after being on the C list, judged a minimum of 3 shows and 30 dogs.
To advance from the B list to the B* list applicants should have judged for three years since their inclusion on the B list, judged at 10 shows and a 100 dogs in total. Applicants must have attended and passed the written judges examination at a BSD breed club judging seminar.
To be placed on the A3 list applicants should have judged for five years and judged 150 dogs.
