Dog Show Judging
NEW!!
DOG SHOW JUDGING -
THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY
by Chris Walkowicz

Learn what it’s really like to judge dogs! Chris Walkowicz, a successful exhibitor and an experienced judge, explains with humour and warmth how she, and others as committed as she is, learn their craft.

Find out how judges get started, build their skills, acquire their judging credentials and learn about all the other things a judge must master including finances, and record keeping.

While writing in a light-hearted vein, Chris answers important questions. What do judges want from exhibitors? What do exhibitors want from judges? Learn from the author how to make the dog showing experience more successful for all.

Kennel Club backs dog shows and exhibitors
THE KENNEL Club came out fighting this week, following the RSPCA’s speedy response to the Associate Parliamentary Group for Animal Welfare’s (APGAW) inquiry, A Healthier Future for Pedigree Dogs.

Chairman of the KC, Ronnie Irving, said that he was disappointed that the RSPCA’s response was so blinkered in its approach to the subject. Hem told OUR DOGS: ‘It has virtually ignored the good work done by breed clubs, breeders and the Kennel Club over many years. After all, we have already gone a long way to achieving eleven of the fourteen major recommendations in the Society's own report on this subject. They have virtually ignored that.’

The Society’s response is largely in line with suggestions made in the APGAW report (Our Dogs December 4), however, some of its own further recommendations are already causing concern within the world of dogs, including the fact that the RSPCA makes numerous references to a panel of independent experts, which it says should oversee most decisions made concerning pedigree dogs, and not just by the KC. The report states that activities such as health screening, dog showing and even judging should all be looked at by ‘a panel of appropriate independent experts, with relevant knowledge and experience in multiple disciplines.’
