CFA judges
CFA judges are experienced professionals who evaluate and rank contestants in dog conformation shows, such as those organized by the Dogs of the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). Their role is to assess how well each dog conforms to the breed's established standards, including appearance, movement, and temperament. Judges compare dogs within the same breed, awarding titles based on how closely they meet these standards. Their expertise helps maintain breed integrity and promotes the health and quality of the breed over time.
