Section 5: Certification
I HEREBY submit my application to the AKC Scent Work department of the AMERICAN KENEL CLUB for its
consideration and make the following certifications:
I certify that I am occupationally eligible to judge under AKC Rules Applying to Dog Shows and will adhere to the
restrictions, if applicable, outlined in the Occupational Eligibility Addendum clarifying Chapter 7, Section 1.
I certify that I am familiar with the American Kennel Club’s Rules, Regulations, Policies, and Scent Work
Regulations and agree to abide by them.
I certify that if granted provisional or regular judging status, I fully understand that my judging eligibility is
conditional and, therefore, reviewable by the AKC Scent Work department at any time subsequent to the date
the status was initially granted.
I certify that upon review, AKC’s Scent Work department may relieve me of continued judging eligibility.
I certify that I understand and acknowledge that if I am charged with cruelty, inhumane treatment of animals, or
similar offense involving inhumane or cruel treatment of dogs, or charged with any crime involving moral
turpitude, especially as it concerns dog-related activities, the AKC may temporarily place my judging privileges
on referral while the charges are pending. Further, after receiving notification of the referral, I am prevented
from judging or from accepting assignments to judge. When the charges are resolved and AKC’s inquiry into the
matter determines that no action will be taken by the AKC to cause a suspension of my judging privileges, the
temporary judging referral will be removed.
I certify that I understand that once I am accepted as an AKC Scent Work judge, my actions, including conduct in
public forums and social media, will be viewed as representative of the AKC, and that should such actions bring
embarrassment to the AKC, I may be subject to disciplinary action, which may affect my judging privileges.
I certify that I am in good standing with the American Kennel Club, 21 years of age or older and that all
information in this application is truthful and accurate.
