| SUBMISSION OF JUDGING CRITIQUES |
| 19/11/09 10:34 PM |
The Kennel Club is concerned at the increasing number of letters it has been receiving from Breed Clubs/Councils and individuals relating to the non-publication of judges’ critiques.
Regulation F(1)22.d. states;
All Judges at Championship Shows and Open Breed Club Shows must produce a written critique for the first two placings in each class, and will dispatch these to at least one of the weekly United Kingdom Canine journals.
In the last 12 months, the Kennel Club has written to 172 judges concerning the non-publication of critiques.
Of the 172 judges that were written to, 16 failed to produce a critique when prompted by the Kennel Club. This resulted in a letter being sent to these judges confirming that ‘no further nominations to award Challenge Certificates (CCs) would be considered by the Committee until a critique was supplied.’
The Kennel Club has a system in place to monitor repeat offenders. It is hoped that there will be a significant drop in the number of times that judges have to be chased for their critiques.

As agreed by the Irish Red & White Setter Breed Clubs and the Kennel Club, the Kennel Club will now refuse registration of Irish Red & White Setter puppies unless both parents have been tested clear of CLAD, or are hereditarily clear of CLAD.

- Effective from 1st January 2011, the Kennel Club will only register litters of Irish Red & White Setters if both parents are DNA tested clear of the von Willebrand Disease (vWD) mutation, or are hereditarily clear of this mutation.
