How the judges for the Sieger Show are selected:

• The Breed Advisory Committee (BAC) is responsible for the Sieger Show, therefore they are the ones that suggest the judges slate for the event. The local co-hosting club for the Sieger Show has no part in the judges selection. The BAC's judges slate must pass final approval from the USA Executive Board.
• The Committee Chairperson, our National Breed Warden, sends a request to the BAC members for suggestions on possible judges. A list is formed and sent out to the BAC members asking them to rank the SV judges in their order of preference and to do the same with the USA judges.
• A judge in the top of the ranking order receives one point, the next judge receives two points, etc. So when all the votes are tallied, the judge with the least number of points is the judge that most BAC members have placed as their first choice.
• The results of the vote create the list of judges to contact (in order) for availability. If the highest ranked judge in the list is not available then the next judge in the list is asked and so forth until the desired number of SV and USA judges are confirmed for that year.
• As per USA Rules & Regulations, the USA Director of Judges will always judge the Performance Test.

This year we will have two SV judges and two USA judge in the rings. The senior SV judge will judge the Male Working Class, other male classes and the Progeny Group. The other SV judge will judge the Female Working Class, other female classes and the Kennel Group. The USA judges will be dispersed thoughout the classes. USA's Director of Judges will judge the Performance Test for the Working Classes.
