My Tibetan Spaniel national club does not allow a judge to judge a national for 7 years after their last national assignment. For the voting process, all club members are sent a list of all judges (except provisionals) who are eligible to judge the breed. Each person voting gets to pick five. Then the top five names are sent out again and the judge is chosen from that. If the first choice can't do it, they go down the line until they have someone who can. This year we ended up with third choice! We try to have it done 2-3 years in advance but due to the lack of bids for national sites, we can't very ask someone to judge when we don't know where or when. We always have ours in the early part of the year, but it's in conjunction with all breed shows in the locality. I think the members need more input on who they want to judge from the beginning.
