My Judging
I had my first judging appointment in July 2010, which was at Worthing & District Canine Society. Previous to this I gained as much experience as I could by being asked to Judge for Ring Craft Society Matches, where you are able to go over many breeds.
In addition to the above have taken the following seminars and at present I'm a C List Judge with The Beagle Club, The Beagle Association, The Northern & Midland Counties Beagle Club, Four Counties Beagle Club, Welsh Beagle Club, and West Mercia Beagle Club
- Requirements of a Dog Show Judge - With Nick Bryce-Smith
- Stewarding - With Nick Bryce-Smith
- Confirmation and Movement - With Ann Woodrow
- Hands on Assessment - With Ann Woodrow
- Beagle Appreciation Day - With Eleanor Bothwell (Hound Group Judge Crufts 2011) and Patricia Sutton
I'm also on the Committee of the Welwyn & Hatfield Ring Craft Society where I go over the dogs and learn about different breeds on a weekly basis.
Here are some photos from my first judging appointment at Worthing. I had a great entry for an open show of 18 dogs.
