To become an NKC American Bulldog judge, you must apprentice a minimum of two shows under the guidance of either an NKC Senior Judge or Intermediate Judge and pass the American Bulldog Judges Test. After Judging 7 show’s, with at least 3 shows under an Intermediate or Senior Judge you will be come an Intermediate Judge. After judging 3 show’s as an Intermediate Judge, you will take the last test to be come a Senior Judge. The final test is an oral hands on test of of judging an American Bulldog before a panel of Senior American Bulldog Judges. The panel will meet as needed or at an NKC sanctioned event to test for Senior Judges.

Once a judge has competed all of their apprenticeship, taken and passed their American Bulldog Judges test they will placed on probationary period for up to 2 years. During this time they will have a probationary license. They will be able to judge shows during this time with out having to judge under a senior or intermediate judge. After their probationary period is over they will then be issued a permanent NKC American Judges license. The probationary period is being put in place due to time past a Judge has received their judges license only to a situation arise that has caused the NKC to revoke the licensing.
