Kansas 4-H Dog Judges’ Certification and Training News
The Kansas 4-H Dog Judges’ Certification and Training will be January 26-28, 2018, in Wichita, Kansas at the Sedgwick County Extension Center. Beginning the training on Friday evening has allowed participants in one weekend to learn about the four dog phases of showmanship, obedience, agility and rally obedience of the Dog Care and Training Project. Those attending to become judges or to re-certify as judges experience judging classes to practice the skills necessary to effectively judge local 4-H dog shows. This is also a good opportunity for local project leaders and older 4-H members to observe the training to learn new knowledge and to better understand how they will be judged at invitational and the Kansas State Fair 4-H Dog Show.
Details for registration will be available in late November, so please share the dates with potential judges and project leaders in your Extension Unit. For more information, contact Deryl Waldren, dwaldren@ksu.edu; or call 785-462-6281.
