Bloodhound judges must progress through various stages or lists and meet minimum criteria for each list.  They are then entitled to judge different stakes at Championship Bloodhound Trials.

Once a judge has progressed to list B they are in a position to be invited to judge the Senior Stake – the highest stake for Bloodhound Trials and to award a Bloodhound Working Trial Certificate.

They must meet the following criteria before their judge’s questionnaire will be considered by the Working Trials, Obedience and Agility Sub-Committee:

Judges resident in the UK.  A judge must have judged at least three stakes, not at the same trial, at Kennel Club licensed Bloodhound Trials.  Although a judge may include one overseas Bloodhound Trial Open Stake within the three stakes (Only appointments in Countries listed in Regulation I(D)10.a. will be considered) .  A judge must also be included on a breed club B list.

Judges resident overseas and non-specialist judges.  A judge must have judged at least three stakes, not at the same trial, at Kennel Club licensed Bloodhound Trials.  Although a judge may include one overseas Bloodhound Trial Open Stake held in the country of which they are domiciled, within the three stakes (Only appointments in Countries listed in Regulation I(D)10.a. will be considered).  A judge must also be included on a breed club B list.
