thanks.....I was looking at a the AKC list of mentors for another breed, and checked out our list out of curiosity, and what a surprise to find departed members still listed as mentors, and many others that need to be updated, including yours truly. * Ileana * Love me, love my dogs.

The GSDCA recognizes every Breeder Judge as a Mentor. That said, in the past, AKC accepted (for ringside mentoring) anyone in a specific breed who has 10 years of documented experience in that particular breed....or, a judge that has judged that breed for 10 years or more. However, this could have all changed....AKC changes policy and procedures faster than it changes it's underwear.
