Dog Judges Study Group
Dedicated to furthering the knowledge of the purebred dog.
Starting with a small group of like-minded individuals who sought to increase their knowledge of the purebred dog, we have grown to become one of the country’s most active judges’ educational groups. We became a regional study group of the Canadian Dog Judges Association when that Association was formed with the mandate to provide educational opportunities to aspiring conformation judges and promote conscientious and knowledgeable conformation dog judging.
Membership is open to licensed and aspiring conformation judges. All members must be in good standing with the Canadian Kennel Club and licensed judges must be members of the Canadian Dog Judges Association. “Aspiring judges” are defined as individuals who are within two years of meeting the requirements for an initial judging permit.

Questions & Answers
Are there any Seminars planned for 2021?
Unfortunately, with pandemic restrictions, we are not able to plan any kind of events. We look forward to putting on another weekend of education as soon as we are able!
I would like to join VIDJSG, how do I do that?

Do you teach handling classes?
No, we leave that to the professional handlers! We focus on providing education to conformation judges, normally holding an annual weekend seminar plus 1-day seminars when possible.
