Maybe the evaluator process needs to be evaluated. In this economy, people
who could be excellent candidates and have the background in our Breed and
other breeds, regarding temperament and training, cannot afford the time and
cost to pursue making it official.Â
Maybe it would be less expensive to have the current Evaluators hold extensive
seminars, in the areas most needed. The top candidates would then be required
to participate in X-number of Temperament tests, such as a provisional judge.Â
If they pass, they continue on. If not, then back to the drawing board. I'm
sure the logistics would need to be worked out.Â
OK, say I was interested in CA. So, the PC brings in an Evaluator to CA to
work with those interested.  Candidates pay a workshop fee to attend the
seminar which offsets the cost of bringing in the Evaluator and requires no
major travel for the candidates. They do training sessions and hold mock
Temperament tests. The top 2-3 candidates are then invited to participated in
a minimum of 2 TT. They would control the tests, with the Evaluator judging
them and giving a final score. The acceptable score to be determined by the
active Evaluators. If they meet the requirements, they would be certified
Evaluators. Why couldn't that work?Â
Just some thoughts.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re TC and Evaluators
Hi List I just found all the posts regarding the TC. Please let me clarify a
ew things. In order to become an evaluator you basically have to apprentice
ith the Evaluators until the committee feels you are ready to conduct tests
n your own. This is a lengthy process for a few reasons #1 there are not a
ot of tests. We need local clubs to host them. We have been encouraging clubs
o have them and have asked the evaluators to contact area clubs. I feel
his is starting to work. A candidate needs more than 1 test a year to perfect
heir skills. #2 We evaluate their progress after the tests they work and at
he National. This takes time. Some people don't wish to put the time and
ravel in to learn and demonstrate their capabilities. We do want to see that
he
evaluator candidate will keep the tests as a top priority, within reason.
hen a candidate is ready The committee will decide to make them an Evaluator.
he committee currently is composed of Dalene McIntire, Gene Gray and myself.
hey must demonstrate they can conduct all facets of a temperament test.
valuators are area specific. Right now all areas are covered except
alifornia.
hat is what I have told people who have approached me. Evaluators typically
ave experience in some training and performance venues, and demonstrate
hey can interpret subtle behaviors exhibited in the test. Bob Penny, Dick
halen and Dalene McIntire decided I should succeed Bob. They were the currant
emp committee. My Time assisting Bob was cut short by his sudden death. So
his
as been a time of learning. I am in the process of revamping the Futurity
bserver process and Have the help of a few board members I will bring this to
he January Board meeting. If anyone has any questions I would encourage
hem to contact me _TotalDogman@xxxxxxxx (mailto:TotalDogman@xxxxxxx) I have
ut my e-mail on all correspondences. In closing I will assure you that there
s no O'le Boys thing going on. Our Only goal is to promote good temperament
n our wonderful Breed. thanx Jim
