Nominations for NSS Judges

Each year the NSS Executive Committee opens the floor for members to nominate judges for our National Specialty show Conformation, Futurity and Sweepstakes judging. The judges are chosen 2 years in advance. A scribe is entrusted to oversee the process. In an updated process (beginning in 2024) those receiving the most votes will be selected. At the Annual Awards banquet (during the NSS) the nominees will be announced.
