At the December 2015 Board Meeting, several motions were passed that affect Shows and Trials. These motions are listed below for your reference.
B. Applicant Conformation Judges
8. Licensing Maintenance for All-Breed, Groups and Breed Judges
c) Licensed judges are encouraged and expected to engage in a self-directed program of professional development.

This portfolio will be reviewed and approved by The Canadian Kennel Club at the end of each five (5) year cycle.
