Firstly, for quick convenience, you can access the Club’s current Judging List here
Judges List (JDP – Old system being phased out by the Kennel Club) All Levels (updated October 2024)
To assist use of this list by those selecting judges, it may help to view the list of
List of all CCs won, listed by Judge
or the
List of all CCs awarded 2020 to date
These are essentially the same lists just ordered differently, one by judges appointments and the other simply a calendar order list of CCs.

To see our developing JEP system list please follow this link
.
Please note that the Club Judges lists no longer includes the traditional C list as it has no value. This is because under the Kennel Club’s Judges Education Programme any (new) judge must meet the requirements of JEP Level 1 before accepting any judging appointment. It is no longer possible for our, or any other, club to support completely inexperienced judges. Please contact the BMD Breed Education Coordinator, Emily English for more information or to confirm the level you have reached.
For more information on the new Levels visit the KC web site where the four new JEP levels are basically defined as….
Up to three classes (four if one is a puppy class) for any breed at limited or open shows.
Bernese are categorised in Tier 3 for this section so the stated requirement for Bernese Mountain Dogs is to have examined, hands on, at least 35 dogs.
Again, there is much more detail via this link to the KC web site dealing with this subject.
To see the BMD CC judging record of every judge who has awarded BMD CCs please visit our Judge’s history page in our CC record section

If you are a new judge or anyone else applying under the JEP system please complete this form and send it to the Breed Education CoOrdinator with your certificates and evidence
If you are an aspiring judge of BMDs requiring to attend a BAD or any other BMD specific training in order to progress your status, please ensure our BEC is aware of you and your need. Whilst our breed held a BAD supported by all the clubs, in October 2024, the previous one to that in 2023, had to be cancelled due to lack of support. Therefore, you will appreciate we need to know when demand has grown to make such an event viable and worth the effort and cost needed to arrange a venue and dogs and handlers to attend. You can use this link to contact our BEC, Emily English
