Judges Competency Framework (JCF)

Posted on by

We have touched lightly on the Kennel Club and the new Judges Competency Framework. Haven’t done a lot about it because it’s boring (over 30 pages and counting) and on here, except for Friday and Health, it is tried to keep things more to the shorter soundbite type of posting. Folk have a heck of a lot to do in their day and if they were expected to read reams on here we’d quickly fall off their “to do” list. At Welsh Kennel Club though, and subsequently by various emails, the matter of the JCF has come up. Glen of Imaal Terrier people do not seem to have taken on board the huge change that will be happening in the very near future regarding judges in this country. In view of this (and our byline of Keeping Glen of Imaal people up to date) we will start to cover the JCF in more detail; beginning with  Appointment of Judges at Limited, Open and Championship Shows Without CCs from 2019 Onwards.

This is the one that will probably affect the bulk of Glen people. Even if you don’t really want to do “big things” but think a bit of judging might be for you and you’ll see how things go you need to be fully aware of the JCF because from 2019 you’ll no longer be able to “just do it”. Please take time to read it.

Glen of Imaal Terrier folk certainly believe in getting the breed out there. A weekend in Kentucky for Finnabair Double D Friend of a Friend results in a full set of Group placements, one through to four. Tipperary American Girl took a couple of days in Ohio and took home 2x Group 4 and one OHG2. Newtown Kennel Club saw Kilkenny’s Best of My Love take Best of Breed. Elm City KC was a BOB for Kilkenny’s Granite Glen Rooney (and an OHG4) and she also took it at Ox Ridge KC.

Over in Europe it was the big Terri-Eri 2017 in Finland where Gleann Curvy Corvette took BOB with brother Cotton Cody Best Dog.  Tervakoski All Breed saw Glenrosedale Buagh Ri Arthur Milo triumph in the breed whilst Rosears Master of The House was BOB at Mantyharju Show and picked up a very nice Group 4. Gleann Holly at Spirit of Ireland took BOB at Ahlen in Germany. Unfortunately no Glens were entered on the Irish circuit, such a shame.

A Quieter Weekend (for some)

Even Glen of Imaal Terrier people have to have some time off and it looks like this last weekend was one of those times….but a Reserve Best In Show and two Group 1s were still notched  up in Memphis Mississippi  and it was Finnabair Double D Friend of a Friend that obliged. Tipperary Ballyfinboy Liam of Cnoc took OHG3 at Tioga County KC. Kate Flack reports from the West Coast “Olympic Kennel Club put on a WONDERFUL show in Enumclaw, Wa. Dock Diving, Barn Hunt, Coursing, Barn Hunt, Coursing, Conformation, Agility, Rally, Obedience – it was a buzz with activity. Keadeen’s Sir Emmet split the conformation honors with half sister Keadeen’s Second Start fro the Right, aka Stella. Emmet finished Saturday with an OHTerrier Group 4 – thanks to Judges Wendy Maisey and Bruce Fraser. Sunday Em was BOS to Stella and completed his 2nd Q toward an Barn Hunt Open title and took 4th speediest in his class.” Also I believe there should be news of coursing and barn hunting but it hasn’t come in yet (HINT, HINT)

It was Welsh Kennel Club in the UK. Best of Breed went to the newly crowned Golden Spurs with Romainville Whistle Dixie taking the Bitch ticket. The two Reserves were Boudivella Oscar & Romainville Maggie May. Best veteran was Donvaleset Rebus & Best Puppy Jeonty Jyn A New Hope.

Congratulations all.
