We have recently been informed that our National Specialty Judge Colin Powell will not be available to complete his assignment due to family illness.
Our second place member voted judge, Lourens ten Napel, will remain as our Friday judge as he has several other breeds along with the working group assigned to him on Saturday. While Lourens understands the huge honor it is to judge our National, he feels it best for him to remain on Friday.
Reviewing all other judges by ranking of member votes the next available judge is Mr. Fred Jones (IRE) and he has accepted the assignment of National Judge.
