Hello Suski,
To be a FCI judge you need several things.
At first that part I wrote about. Then it continues with with more genetic, phychologic from the dog, more information about the inside of the dog and feeding problems and illnesses and a part of moving form the different kind of dogs.
Also at the end an exam.
Then the 3. part, this is a combination of recognizing movement and exterior from different dogs with his special muskulation for it and recognation of diffenrent coats.
Also with an exam with judging 3 males and 3 females dogs from diffenrent races and another part, speaking about dogs and mistakes by dogs and examination over all the FCI races. Of course all the about 400 races is much too long to speak about but we have to learn them all.
After that you are a beginning judge and allowed to judge only your kind of race you are interesting in. Not at FCI National of International show but also at lokal shows to make experiences with judging.
To be a real judge you have to do race exam and that will be an exam with 3 males and 3 females and writing a judgereport and then after that part you will be examinated by some people about these reports and you knowlegde about this race and illnesses and futureprogramm and how the stand of breeding is at that moment and how the standard was writing and the changements during the years.
When you come trough this all you are a real judge an allowed to judging at FCI shows.
Then you have to do 4 national shows and after that you are allowed to judge in foreing countries with only allowness of our National Kennelclub.
So if you do this whole project it takes, in the most optimal conditions, 4 - 5 years to become a judge.
If you fale for one of these exams you have to wait for over one year and for the real judgeexams it depends when the race club will organize such an exam again and that can be taken minimal 5 years.
So it takes a looooooong time to become a judge.
