SPECIALISTS Exceptions
to criteria (as per Kennel Club) Note – non specialists - Judges are not required to have passed a
hands-on assessment for their fourth CC breed onwards, however attendance at
a seminar is recommended. Therefore this would apply to Group Judges as to be
approvable to judge a Group a judge must have awarded CCs in at least three
breeds. Policy
Judges (those who award CCs to 70% of the breeds in the Group) are able to be
approved to award CC’s if they have judged 50% of the required numbers,
therefore for Cairns this would be 35 dogs. B List Candidates

Item iv of A2 assessment procedure
- Mock Classes Aim This
procedure enables the assessment of judges prior to inclusion on an A2 list
to take place in a situation other than a licensed show. It is essential that this procedure
reflects exactly all the other aspects of assessment that would occur at a
licensed show. The mock classes should
be run exactly as they would be at a show.
The assessment will take into account: • Ring Procedure • Appreciation of Breed Type Requirements A
minimum of 12 dogs, preferably including dogs with enough variation in age
and quality to enable the formation of at least two classes. It is helpful for some dogs to be in more
than one class to see how the candidate copes with repeat entries. • One steward • Two assessors • Ring laid out as it would be at a show Procedure This
should in all ways follow standard show procedure. The
candidate will judge the dogs in exactly the same way as they would at a
licensed show. This will include
placing five dogs in order and writing a critique on the first two. Assessment The
assessors will report their findings to the Kennel Club using the standard
assessors’ form. Revised
