We are dedicated to promoting, preserving, and protecting our Belgian Sheepdogs.

Judges Education

The BSCA is dedicated to the improvement and betterment of all aspects of the Belgian Sheepdog. As part of that commitment, we have established a committee to educate judges and potential judges. Our goal is to help you understand the essence of this beautiful herding breed.

The Judges Education Committee (JEC) performs many valuable duties for AKC judges. The Committee presents workshops for judges, answers questions and letters from judges, sends out educational material to new judges, refers judges who are learning the breed to Presenters and Mentors all around the country.

If you are interested in having an educational event, please feel free to contact any member of the JEC or any BSCA approved mentor directly or:
