Senior Judges:

• Senior Judges must attend at least one judging school every two years to retain Senior Judge status.
• If a Senior Judge is unable to attend a required judging school, they need to write to the Breed Services Administrator prior to the commencement of the judging school, or their name will be placed on the Associate Judges list at the HFNZ Board’s discretion.
• Senior Judges who have at their most recent judging school, scored below 80%, will be required to attend a judging school the following year, and if they again fail to obtain 80%, they will be retired from the Senior Judges list to the Associate Judges list, at the HFNZ Board’s discretion.
