Notice to Conformation Judges Re: New Breed Bergamasco Shepherd Dog


Effective July 1, 2023 the Bergamasco Shepherd Dog will be eligible to compete as a Listed Breed in Group 7 (Herding).
 
In accordance with CKC policy, CKC All Breed Judges and Breed/Group Judges that are licensed or on permit to judge breeds in Group 7 will be required to successfully complete an Open Book Test for this new breed prior to being approved to judge it. 
 
The Open Book Test for the Bergamasco Shepherd Dog is now available on the CKC website at www.ckc.ca under the Events tab, then CKC Breed Standards, Open Book Tests.  Please print the test, complete it, and mail or e-mail it to Head Office, as designated below, by June 15, 2023.  Here is the link to the page on the website where both the Open Book Test and Breed Standard can be found: https://www.ckc.ca/en/Files/Breed-Standards/Breed-Standards/New-Breed-Open-Book-Test
 
If you are an All Breed Judge then you must complete the test.  If you are licensed to judge all breeds in Group 7 (but not an All Breed Judge), you must complete the test.  If you are a permit judge for all breeds in Group 7, you must complete the test.  If you are a judge on permit for half of Group 7, and you are licensed for the other half of the group, then you must complete the test.  If you are a permit judge for only half of Group 7, and you are not licensed for the other half, then you are not required to write the test at this time.
