5 General duties of a Show Judge
At shows in countries whose NCO is a member of the FCI, Show Judges must always follow the valid FCI standards of the breeds they are judging, as long as these are not in conflict with national law. They may not interpret any standard in such a manner to be in conflict with the functional health of a dog.
When judging, any Show Judge has to obey strictly these Judges Regulations as well as the FCI Show Regulations and all other rules of FCI.
