The Greyhound Club are holding our first Breed Appreciation Day to meet the new Judges Competency Framework (JFC) effective from January 2019. More information can be found on www.thekennelclub.org.uk/training/judges-education/breed-show-judges-training/judges-competency-framework

The Breed Appreciation Day will be mandatory for all judges wishing to judge Greyhounds from the new level 2 or judges wishing to progress from Level 1 to level 2.

The session will consist of an Introduction to the Greyhound plus The Kennel Club Breed Standard which is an essential part of the criteria in giving CCs in the breed, followed by an opportunity for individuals to examine exhibits assisted by CC judges. Finally there will be the opportunity to sit the Multiple Choice Exam (MCE) of The Kennel Club Breed Standard.

Anyone with an interest in Greyhounds can attend the BAD, but only judges who have undertaken the following Kennel Club education can sit the MCE.

· To have passed the Rules & Regulations of a Dog Show Judge.

· To have passed the Points of a Dog Assessment.

· To have attended the Conformation & Movement Seminar.

This will be £20 for BAD only and £30 for BAD plus MCE.  A buffet lunch will be provided and the opportunity to speak to exhibitors and witness the Greyhound exhibits at our Open Show in the afternoon.
