The British Chihuahua Club Judges List

Previously, each Breed Club used to maintain its own set of lists of approved persons qualified to judge at various levels, from the 'C' list for beginners up to the 'A1' list for judges already awarding CCs.  Each Breed Club established its own criteria for inclusion on its lists.   Secretaries of Open and Championship shows would usually have to refer to several clubs' lists in order to identify suitable people to invite to judge.

Judges' Education Programme (JEP)
A new system has been developed by the Kennel Club for the education, approval and listing of every level of judge, from those who aspire to judge, right through to open show judges, plus those who go on to award Challenge Certificates, judge championship show groups and Best in Show.  Instead of referring to Breed Clubs' individual judges lists, show Secretaries looking for a judge to invite can now simply refer to the Kennel Club's own Find A Judge service.

Until December 31st 2025, our existing A and B lists can still be used, but the C List which included inexperienced judges is no longer available since new judges must now meet the JEP Level 1 requirements before accepting any judges appointments.  If you require a copy of our Judges List during this period, please apply to our Hon Secretary Mrs Pauline Lodwick (tel: 07766 807785, email: secretary@britishchihuahua.club)
