Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: “The Kennel Club has already held a number of question and answer sessions on the JCF which have proven very useful, as participants have remarked afterwards that misconceptions have been cleared up. We take this opportunity to thank the host societies for being proactive in their approach towards the JCF.
“We would recommend these question and answer sessions to anyone interested in finding out more about the new judging system, but these talks have been popular so booking early is advisable in order to avoid missing out.”
The Kennel Club also hopes to hold at least one JCF question and answer session at the Scottish Kennel Club championship show in Edinburgh in May. Details of this and of the role description for Breed Education Coordinators will be issued in due course.
