For the purposes of broadening breed education, we present the following links to general and specific breed judging articles. As more articles become available, links will be added to this library. May we also encourage judges to notify SHOWDOGS of any worthwhile articles to which we can link to increase the learning experience.
Please alert us to any broken links

Note: While some of these articles are based on standards not used in South Africa, they are, nonetheless, extremely useful tools to discover more about the breed. The more one reads, the more one learns; the more one learns, the more one discerns.... and that's what full-rounded, balanced education is all about.
