Raida, krásná, rošťácká,

plná energie a chuti do života.

Odešla nečekaně a o to víc srdce bolí.

Ve vzpomínkách jsi navždy s námi.

decisions

• Publishing the Breed by Breed Education on the FCI website: Proposal was approved. Already on the website.
• Guidelines and instructions how to write a dog’s report. Proposal to publish our work as Guidelines. Proposal has been turned down. No reason given. We are waiting for an answer! We will try again!
• Investigation on nomination of some people to become a group or all-breeds judge in some countries. We have sent the information we had received from our members to the FCI. They started to investigate the “rumours of improper nominations”. The countries concerned have answered! It’s up to us how to deal with it!
• KC and FCI matter. We asked the Board to inform us about the agreement and the communication regarding that decision. The Board answered the questions. We are still waiting for the official agreement regarding the reciprocity of KC and FCI judges.

 

 

5. Rumours about nominations

• Investigation of rumours regarding the nomination of some judges in the following countries:
  • Bulgaria (3 people concerned)
  • Serbia (3 people concerned PLUS 2 new people)
  • Macedonia (1 person concerned)
  • Montenegro (2 people concerned)
  • Rumours regarding:
    • No basic education according to the FCI Regulations
    • Too short period between nomination of breeds, groups,       all-breeds judge
    • Not following the FCI Regulations
    • Payment by people to become judges

5. Rumours about nominations

 

• Answers of the countries concerned
  • Papers and files were damaged in the fire / gone / former board
  • Legal residence, only by copy of lease agreement on a house, not from the city and/or tax office
  • Mostly own native language (not in 1 of the 4 FCI languages)
  • Judge has several addresses and decided to become a judge in Bulgaria because in their own country it was too difficult
  • Statements of the kennel clubs without proper proofs (no copies of nominations, education a.s.o.)

5. Rumours about nomination

• PROPOSAL

Considering that the nomination of the FCI judges should be done according to the FCI Regulations and that we have strong believe that the answers of the kennel clubs concerned are not complete and do not have necessary documents attached, we ask the FCI Board to undertake further actions once again

• A lease contract of a house does not prove that the judge lives in the country. Should be a copy of a TAX statement, so we need further proof if these judges were really living in the country concerned
• We should get copies of the nominations of these judges, at least copies of the nomination for the first group and the last one
• If possible we prefer to receive the education programs of the countries concerned, just to check whether the program was followed
• The answers have to be written in one of the four FCI languages
• While waiting for the answers the judges concerned are not allowed to judge outside the countries where they were nominated

9. The Future of Beginning Judges

• Topic from last year
• “Weakness”
  • Mostly not known outside their own country / Organizers do not know them
  • Hard to “compete” with the “efficiency”
  • Not so many breeds? So no judge for two full days?
  • Expensive in travelling and lodging, or ??
  • FCI Regulations say: wait for 2 years
  • “Strength”
    • Actual development in the breed(s)
    • Often a new and open mind in judging the breed
    • Specialist in the breed(s) he is allowed to judge

 

 

9. The Future of beginning judges

 

• Proposal

 

• Judges that have been approved for one or more breeds should be treated equally regardless the age of the judge and his/her judging career, as long as the education has been done according to at least the FCI Regulations;
• Delete the article in the Show Judges Regulations: “minimum of 2 years in own country”;
• Spreading a list among the countries that would like to have that with beginning judges that:
  • Are judges for not longer than 10 years;
  • Do not have more than 15 breeds and/of one group.
  • This list should contain basic information such as the name of the judge, the city of living, the breeds and the email address. The list should not contain any information that could tell something about the opinion of the kennel club of their judges. The list can be spread among the countries that also participate in exchanging information about their beginning judges.

 

10. How to use Social Media

• SOCIAL MEDIA
  • The new way to “discuss, congratulate, talk, present and kill”
  • Do not say “Good Bye” to Social Media because it can be interesting and lots of fun
  • Facebook (90 %)
    • From Heaven to Hell in ONE day !
    • Spreading all over the world in a split of a second !
    • Your message, status and pictures are FOR EVER !
    • Is a great communication tool when used properly !

 

10. How to use Social Media

• How to handle Facebook with care
  • Can you LIKE dogs of breeds that you judge / are going to judge soon?
  • Can you LIKE BOB/BIG/BIS dogs when you have to judge these breeds in short time?
  • Can you LIKE litters, champion dogs, the messages of multi winners in kennels?
  • Is it okay when you put pictures on FB from your visit to a breeder of a breed that you are judging in short time?

 

• Can we develop some guidelines that we – judges – can use when working with FB?

11. Working on Judge Training Scheme

 

• Topic from APAC members
• Discussion about a formal and comprehensive judge training scheme for breeds not that known in some countries
• Give judges opportunity to learn and be educated in breeds rarely seen in their own country

 

• How to develop this training scheme for Asian judges and judges from other countries who have the same problem

12. Exchange training programs

 

• More and more countries have well developed education programs starting from basic untill All-Breeds Judge
• Used for national purpose only
• Not all countries are that lucky to have programs
• But judging is not national: same basis through whole world!

 

• Can we exchange programs, regulations, exams?
• Can we invite (starting) judges from the FCI countries to participate in programs?
• Can we exchange education events?

 

• What can the Section / Commission do to assist judges in their training and find some practical ways to do it!

13. System of Control of the
FCI Group and All-Breeds Judges

 

• FCI said YES to the system of control
• FCI already started the procedure
• Despite that some countries still do not follow the regulations regarding the nomination of Group and All-Breeds Judges
• Controlling is impossible if we don’t have the possibility to check if the procedure has been followed

13. System of Control

Article 11 - Judges

1.

• The members and contract partners are responsible for training and examining (in accordance with the FCI regulations) the judges who will be authorised to award CACIB, CACIT, CACIAG, CACIOB and CACIL. Only such judges can be recognised by the FCI, its members and contract partners.

2.

• A judge can appear on the judges’ list of a member or contract partner in the country in which this member or this contract partner has its head office. Furthermore, a judge can appear on one FCI judges’ list only. The members and contract partners must publish their updated judges’ list (name, address, email, phone number, qualifications, languages spoken) It is up to the members and the contract partners to decide whether or not to publish their working judges’ lists on the Internet and send them to the FCI General Secretariat or not
• May be it should be added to this provision (The members and contract partners must publish their updated judges’ list (name, address, email, phone number, qualifications, languages spoken) on their Internet website) - the FCI Judges Directory as well?

 

13. System of Control of the
FCI Group and All-Breeds Judges

 

Do we do this?

How to control this?

Proposal:

-         Inform the members that they have to publish their complete list of judges and send it to the FCI

-         To add to the standing orders art. 11 that they also have to publish their list on the FCI Judges Directory

-         To add to the Article that NO also has to send their Student Judges as well

 

13. System of Control

Article 11 - Judges

 

2.

 

• A judge can appear on the judges’ list of a member or contract partner only if he has his legal residence in the country in which this member or this contract partner has its head office. Furthermore, a judge can appear on one FCI judges’ list only. The members and contract partners must publish their updated judges’ list (name, address, email, phone number, qualifications, languages spoken) and on their Internet website. In addition, this updated list has to be sent to the FCI General Secretariat every year.It is up to the members and the contract partners to decide whether or not to publish their working judges’ lists on the Internet and send them to the FCI General Secretariat or not. The members also have to send their updated list of student judges to the FCI every year.

 

14. An ideal Certificating Process  

 

• Topic from the APAC members
• What can we do to unify this process?

 

15. Criteria for Judges at International Level

 

• Topic from APAC members

 

• When should a judge be permitted to judge on international level?
• Criteria?

16. Minimum number of Groups for BIS judges

 

• BIS when approved for at least two groups
• To become All-Breeds Judge you have to have at least 5 groups (including some KEY Groups)

 

• Question: Is a Group Judge for two groups able to judge BIS? Does he know the majority of the breeds in all the groups?

 

• PROPOSAL: The criteria to be a BIS judge should be the same as to become an All-Breeds Judge. So at least 5 Groups including the KEY Groups.

 

17. FCI Judges Congress

• Judges would like to exchange their experience regarding judging dogs
• Judges would like to exchange their thoughts about interpreting standards and using them together with the basic statements regarding the health and welfare of dogs
• Judges would like to exchange their thoughts and opinions on an international basis, not to get one uniform decision when judging, but to search for a balance constantly

 

17. FCI Judges Congress

• Proposal to the FCI Board
• The FCI Judges Commission proposes to organize an International FCI Judges Congress for all FCI Judges every two years.
• Next host country and date is to be announced every congress.
• The FCI will financially support this Congress by paying for the location of the congress, related seminars and workshops, and the speakers (costs for accommodation, daily allowance and travel)

     “The rules regarding the general duties of a show judge,      his travel, insurance and his behavior mentioned in     the FCI Show Judges Regulations also affect the judges    coming from other than FCI countries.

• The Netherlands: no rules saying that a dog can be banned on showing
• Sweden: they have rules and can ban dogs

 

• WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER COUNTRIES?

• Do we have to develop them as guidelines or as obligatory rules?

 

8. Judge and a Country of Nomination

 

• People sometimes become a judge in the country where they do not live
• This person does not appear on the list of judges of the country where he is living
• However on the judges list of a dog show this person appears on the list with the country of living behind the name
• Not correct because country of living is not responsible for this nomination

 

• We propose to add some text to regulations

8. Judge and a Country of Nomination

• Tablet / Laptop à Organizer  Website / Public
• Judge is not in charge anymore?

 

• How can this be controlled?
• Should we develop rules in which it is stated that a judge – at all times – has to sign a paper with all the results of his judging?

 

 

10. Behavior of Judges

• Sometimes visitors and exhibitors are irritated by the way judges act in a ring
  • Sitting while judging
  • Judges using cruces frightening dogs
  • Talking with people outside the ring
