2021 Kansas 4-H Dog Judges' Re-certification Process
Due to COVID-19 the 4-H Dog Judge re-certification process is now online. Emails were sent to judges needing to re-certify. An email was also sent to those current judges encouraging them to re-certify so they become familiar with the new rule book. They will have until March 22 to complete the online process. There is no cost. No new certifications are available.
Please encourage dog judges to become familiar with the new Kansas 4-H Dog Rules book. The new Kansas 4-H Dog Show Rules book is available to download or purchase through the KSRE bookstore at https://bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/Item.aspx?catId=746&pubId=23480
The re-certification process includes questions in each area including general information (10 questions), showmanship (20 questions), obedience (50 questions), rally obedience (50 questions), and agility (50 questions). All participants will answer the general information questions. Then the judge will select which areas they would like to re-certify in - showmanship, obedience, rally obedience and/or agility. Participants will receive a separate e-mail with a link to the specific re-certification categories. (For instance, if they select 3 areas, they will receive 3 emails.) This will allow them to use the time they have available to complete each category. They can complete only one at a time or continue as time allows.
The online re-certification process must be completed by 11:59 p.m. March 22, 2021. Each question has multiple choice answers associated with it. Click on one of the choices for your answer. There is only one correct answer. Upon completion of each category, an answer key will appear for them to review their answers. Their final score will be e-mailed to them. They need to score 80% or higher in order to re-certify. If they receive a lower score, they will need to complete an in-person re-certification process when it becomes available.
This is the link to start the re-certification online process and includes the 10 general information questions.
