The criteria of clubs should be reasonable and transparent. The number of classes/dogs required should be realistic in relation to the size of the breed. It should be noted that lists should include a minimum of 20% of Non Breed Specialists and it is recommended that consideration be given to the inclusion of Group Judges, relevant to the breed, on A or B lists. Clubs are particularly reminded that from 1 January 1999, only those judges who are on a ‘B’ list of a club or above that level were permitted to judge at Open Shows with more than 3 classes for the breed (Stud Book Band E – more than 5 classes). The number of classes required for inclusion on a ‘B’ list must therefore take account of this and be realistic for the breed otherwise not enough Judges may be available to carry out the Open Show appointments where the breed is scheduled. Compilation of Judges Lists together with the criteria used in their formulation should be made by a committee or judges sub-committee consisting of at least 75% of persons who award CCs to the breed. Kennel Club opinion letters on the suitability of judges to award CCs for the first time should only be considered by the above committee. Existing CC judges should not be required to apply for inclusion. In cases where breeds do not yet enjoy CC status A1 and A2 lists are not required. All other lists should be compiled and must be based upon submitted criteria relevant to the size and status of the breed. It is recommended that consideration be given to the inclusion of Group Judges relevant to the breed on an appropriate list. Except in the instances of Kennel Club Policy, inclusion on any list is at the discretion of the relevant committee of the club.                            14th March 2003 (KC) Breed Societies must produce a new Judges list each year, which must be submitted to the KC, together with the Society judging list criteria and method of compilation.
