Judging of the Chow Chow
We originated the idea of a series of high calibre articles in one place for easy access to assist the serious enthusiast late 2004. It was featured in the Chow Club Newsletter and included on this site from 2005.
We are very pleased that these pages are included in judges training schemes around the world. The calibre of information presented will therefore be maintained at the highest level. This fits in with the intention that they serve as a guide to both judges and breeders internationally, in the interest of preserving of the Chow Chow as a breed for future generations.
The chow chow breed thanks all serious breeders and judges for their time & dedication.
Before judging at SA shows, take time to peruse the KUSA Breed Standard and compare it to other Breed Standards internationally.
Be sure to understand the KUSA rules & regulations that exhibitors will have agreed to exhibit under. On the KUSA website find it under: Documents: Constitution, Articles, Regulations: Regulations for Championship Shows.
Some authors have given permission for these articles to be printed out for private free use internationally, both in national judges' training schemes and for private free education of individuals. However, all articles remain COPYRIGHT of the authors and no copies of these articles may be published in any way without written permission from the authors. For permission please contact the authors directly or please contact the webmaster.
On
the web, it will be appropriate to LINK to the articles which
originally appear on this website.
Acknowledgement of the articles' original appearance on this website
is appropriate and appreciated.
