Decisions

 

  • New phrasing in the dog show regulations regarding the “on-line catalogues” and how to control? Our proposal: Publishing on-line catalogues only on the day of the show, never more than two hours before. FCI BOARD: AGREED.

 

  • To recommend judges, stewards and organizers ask handlers not to exaggerate in baiting their dogs when being examined and placed. Our proposal: publish a circular regarding this. FCI BOARD: TURNS DOWN THE PROPOSAL. It’s up to each judge to inform the handlers

 

 

4. Entrance of Dogs Belonging to Partners and Family of Judges

 

  • Chapter 11 of the FCI Judges Regulations: “A partner, any member of his immediate familily or any person living in his household may enter dogs of breeds……which this judge is not judging on that day of the show

 

  • What to do about partners that have entered a dog and accompany judges at the dinner the evening before of the show?
  • What to do with judges who ask for judging fee and refunding their expenses although the partner has entered the other day?

 

  • DISCUSSION: Should we ammend the regulations in such a way that a partner, any member of his immediate familily or any person living in his household, is NOT allowed to enter dog(s) at all at a show where the judge concerned is acting as a judge?

 

 

5. FCI Regulations for Non-FCI Judges

  • Topic from Norsk Kennel Klubben (NKK)
  • Experience regarding Non FCI Judges not following the FCI regulations
  • FCI and NON FCI judges at FCI Show should be treated equally but should also have the same rights and obligations

 

  • Proposal to add to Chapter 1 “Basics” in the FCI Dogs Show Regulatons:

     “The rules regarding the general duties of a show judge,      his travel, insurance and his behavior mentioned in     the FCI Show Judges Regulations also affect the judges    coming from other than FCI countries. They have to   follow these rules when officiating at the FCI         International Dog Shows”.

 

6. Following the FCI Regulations

  • Topic coming from the FCI Board
  • Desicion regarding Judging Fee not being followed by VDH
    • Motivation Germany VDH
      • Why only for EU section, World and EU Shows
      • Equal for ALL (all shows and other judges) and all voluntary people

 

  • What is our opinion
  • Our advice to the FCI Board

 

 

7. How to Handle Aggressive Dogs

  • Some countries have rules regarding the way they handle aggressive dogs. Some do not have them!
  • Disqualification only at the moment but no further action taken because of lack of regulations

 

  • The Netherlands: no rules saying that a dog can be banned on showing
  • Sweden: they have rules and can ban dogs

 

  • WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER COUNTRIES?
  • Can we propose “regulations” that can be used by the FCI countries?
  • Do we have to develop them as guidelines or as obligatory rules?

 

8. Judge and a Country of Nomination

 

  • People sometimes become a judge in the country where they do not live
  • This person does not appear on the list of judges of the country where he is living
  • However on the judges list of a dog show this person appears on the list with the country of living behind the name
  • Not correct because country of living is not responsible for this nomination

 

  • We propose to add some text to regulations

8. Judge and a Country of Nomination

 

  • Proposal to ADD to Chapter 10 “FCI Dog Shows Regulation” the following sentence:
    • “k. All publications of a judge officiating at a show must be with the country on which this judge appears on the list of licensed judges”.

9. Digital Technology and Judging

 

  • Topic coming from Colombia
  • Digital technology in the rings gets more and more important
  • Use of tablets
  • Is the judge still able to see if his qualifications, placements and titles are also published properly?
  • Tablet / Laptop à Organizer  Website / Public
  • Judge is not in charge anymore?

 

  • How can this be controlled?
  • Should we develop rules in which it is stated that a judge – at all times – has to sign a paper with all the results of his judging?

 

 

10. Behavior of Judges

  • Sometimes visitors and exhibitors are irritated by the way judges act in a ring
    • Sitting while judging
    • Judges using cruces frightening dogs
    • Talking with people outside the ring
  • Is it good to try to develop some rules?
    • A judge too has to be fit for his function!
  • Also regarding the behavior of some judges in the ring.

   How to handle this? Are there any sanctions and/or do we need them?
