  • Judge's Affirmation

  • This question is intended to affirm one's willingness to adhere to current AKC rules and regulations while judging AKC events and to conduct oneself in an unbiased and sportsmanlike manner.

    I certify that I understand and acknowledge that if I am charged with the inappropriate treatment of a dog ("inappropriate treatment" means any offense involving a dog that alleges cruelty, abuse, neglect, or improper treatment of a dog as defined by AKC), or charged with any crime involving moral turpitude, especially as it concerns dog-related activities, the AKC may temporarily place my judging privileges on referral while the charges are pending.

    Upon receipt of notification of the referral, I cannot judge or accept assignments to judge. When the charges are resolved, and AKC's inquiry into the matter determines that the AKC will take no action to cause a suspension of my judging privileges, the temporary judging referral will be removed.
