 The "I Judge Dogs" website was a really useful tool in finding a number of judges for next years show, being able to search and select judges who have experience in the Groups / Breeds for which we needed a judge was a great asset and one we shall definitely use in the future when selecting our judges.

I would just like to say how easy this site is to use.  I have 'put off' trying to get on to it because I am a touch fearful of computers but yesterday I bit the bullet and with the help of David Cavill, I have successfully added mine and Stephen's details.  Thank you . PatsyHollings

Thank you for the regular and informative IJD updates. The website is a wonderful tool for show secretaries and I hope it will get the acceptance it deserves. And I have had 2 enquiries on the strength of it in the last month!

To give judges and show managements a forum to  discuss ideas, make suggestions and post their own articles, comments and pictures, I Judge Dogs has created a Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/IJudgeDogs.

Deborah Fleming, who created the I Judge Dogs website several years ago, has come to the conclusion that she no longer has time to administer it.  As it is such an important resource for show secretaries and committees she has asked the DC/AC Partnership, who have been involved in the world of dogs for over 30 years and have a long-term interest in canine education and administration through the Animal Care College, Showsurance and the canine press, to take it over.

The partnership intends to develop the site so it becomes a key centre for information on all aspects of judging dogs and will be interested in links to any training and educational material which is publicly available on the Internet about specific breeds.  Please contact the administrator, David Cavill, on mail@davidcavill.co.uk if you have suitable links you would like to share.

All registered site users have been sent a further email detailing how to access the new admin area. We would request that all judges check all profile details and update judging their CV's and information as the site re-launches.
