The identities of our three judges are kept secret until the evening of the Top 25 Competition. The Gala committee chooses the judging panel by secret ballot, and results are known only to the committee member serving as judge coordinator*.

Our judges are drawn from three areas: AKC-licensed judges, breeders, and (beginning with 2007) AKC Sporting breed judges. All have backgrounds in Sporting Dogs, German Shorthaired Pointers and are well-qualified to judge this event.

Thank you judges for your time and effort to make this annual event a great success!
