Canadian licensed judges have paid a yearly fee forever for the right to judge. I believe for the initial application and first years fee's it is around $150 then $100 a year renewal....every year. Obedience and rally judges are a bit less. Molly In a message dated 5/12/2010 8:49:00 P.M.

The following are the essential elements: Effective January 1, 2011, all AKC judges will pay an annual $50.00 maintenance fee plus $5.00 per breed the first year (2011). Starting the second year (2012), the per breed portion of the fee will be $10.00 per year. Delegates and Junior showmanship judges will be exempt from these fees. The $25.00 processing fee for new breed applications will be kept the same for the first two year period but may be increased after that. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
