Joint Weimaraner Clubs Judging List
Applying to be included on the Joint Judging List means you agree not to place, at any show, a blue dog purporting to be a Weimaraner. The Weimaraner Breed Standard is very clear "The only correct colour is grey. Silver grey preferable. Shades of mouse or roe grey are acceptable; blending to lighter shade on head and ears. Dark eel stripe frequently occurs along back. Whole coat gives an appearance of metallic sheen. Small white mark permissible on chest. White spots resulting from injuries not penalised.
Any other colour including blue highly undesirable. “Any other coat colour is registered as ‘Colour not recognised by The Kennel Club' and should be considered a serious fault.
Any judge on the NEWS Judges List who is found to have placed a blue dog will be removed from the List with immediate effect.

Judges Education Programme
A new system has been developed for the education, approval and listing of every level of judge, from those who aspire to judge, right through to open show judges, plus those who go on to award Challenge Certificates, judge championship show groups and best in show. The system has been designed taking into account the feedback received from exhibitors, show societies and judges.
Full details of the JEP can be found by clicking the link below
As of 1st January 2011, all new judges in the Gundog Group must attend a field trial or a Gundog Working Test for the sub-group they will be awarding challenge certificates in first. Any Hunt, Point, Retrieve (HPR) field trial may be attended, Novice, All-Aged or Open but if attending a Gundog Working Test, it can only be Open. This is a one-time qualification.
To assist judges, there is a form which you can take to the FT/GWT for the FT Secretary or judge to sign. You will need evidence of attendance in order to progress to awarding CCs. Click HERE for the form
