Motion : We , the Membership , request the DPCA Board of Directors adopt the AKC Policy allowing the Membership to nominate Non Permit individuals to Judge the DPCA National, Regional & Chapter Club Specialties.
Why is this important?
Many AKC Parent Clubs are taking advantage of the AKC ruling to allowing qualified non-permitted individuals to judge specialty shows. The DCPA Constitution & By-Laws requires that individuals nominated be AKC Approved Judges. The Constitution needs to be revised to allow members the right to nominate any individuals the membership deems qualified to preside over our dogs at Specialty shows whether they be AKC permitted or not..
