This Breed Appreciation Day is aimed at individuals interested in the breed whether they are exhibitors, aspiring judges or breeders. We hope to provide them with the information they need to make informed decisions to safeguard the breed.

Attendance at a BAD and passing the Multiple Choice Exam is a requirement for Level 2 of the KC Judges Education Programme (JEP).

The session will consist of an introduction to the Gordon Setter and its function as a working gundog; the history of the breed and the Kennel Club Breed Standard.

There will be a Multiple Choice Exam (MCE) based on the Kennel Club Breed Standard of the Gordon Setter.

Anyone can attend the BAD but candidates wishing to undertake the MCE must at least fulfil the Level 1 judge requirements:

· Minimum 5 years proven interest in pedigree dogs

· Attend a Conformation & Movement seminar hosted by a KC Accredited Trainer

· Complete a minimum of 2 full day stewarding appointments

· Attend a Requirement of a Dog Show Judge Seminar and pass associated exam (either in person or online via KC Academy

In the afternoon there will be a separate session for individuals wishing to take part in a Group Mentoring Session. Anyone who meets JEP Level 2 requirements, including those who pass MCE in morning session, is eligible to attend though numbers will be strictly limited.

As a separate session, there will also be a “hands on”. This is aimed individuals following the traditional route to judging. Numbers are very strictly limited.
