Hi All; There is so much on the net with the Judges fees, I have joined the FB Group to oppose this and I wish I could go to the June Delegates meeting, because this is defiantly going to be brought to the floor. The amount of money that is purposed is ridicules and also why only confirmation Judges and not Performance, seems discriminatory to me. Also a point was made that AKC does not license Judges, but only approves them and they are not a contractual employee to the AKC, which is an excellent point. As a Show Coordinator, I know the costs would be passed on to the Clubs and all Clubs are trying to contain costs to survive. As I said in an early post this was not a Delegate decision, but the Board, as this is an operation business decision and the Delegates have no vote on that, but they can show there dissatisfaction and I believe they will in June.
