Our club has decided to look for a non AKC judge for several reasons. There are many out there with a very good eye. Since most people don't know if they like their dogs or not, hopefully they will enter and take a chance.If a judge does a futurity and them comes up locally again soon after, the losers from the futurity aren't going to enter and that club is going to get hurt. Just a few reasons. When I enter a futurity I don't care if the judge is AKC approved or a breeder, I enter under the people that I think are most knowledgable in this breed and are going to give my dogs a look.

So, if you were a Breeder and have not bred in some years and happen to have an AKC Judges Lic. you are not longer considered a Breeder/Judge for our Futurities? Are only active Breeders who do not have an AKC Judges Lic. to be considered? I believe not to consider both is wrong.
