DDBSA Judges Education Seminars
for Future AKC Judges of the
Dogue de Bordeaux
The DDBSA Judges Education Committee would like
to invite club members to become active in our breed education seminars.
If you are not comfortable speaking in front of a group, then please consider
helping out by bringing your DDBSA champion dogs out for a seminar.
The following are the guidelines we have created for members and their
dogs to be involved in the judges education process.
There is a power point CD program to be used so use of a laptop and LCD
projector are needed.

preferably one of each sex.
The only materials to
