Mentors and Presenters Information

Click Here For The ECSCA Mentor/Presenter/Judge List
In the continued effort to keep the highest standards, we are updating our list of approved mentors and presenters. It is expected that all Mentors and Presenters be more than comfortable with the standard and knowledge of dog terms in general; not only knowing and understanding the breed specific details of type and function, but being able to articulately elaborate upon them to future English Cocker judges. These judges can run the gamut from a first breed judge through to someone who has judged multiple groups for many decades and is well versed in all things dog. Judges spend time and significant money to attend Parent Club seminars as part of AKC requirements and rightfully expect to be mentored by qualified, knowledgeable individuals who can effectively communicate on the same level. Mentors and Presenters must be not only be thoroughly knowledgeable of the English Cocker standard, but also of general dog structure and movement. Knowledge of correct canine terminology is a must.
The ECSCA Breed Education Committee now requires that a current, approved Mentor sponsor any application for becoming a Mentor, and that a current, approved Presenter sponsor all applications for Presenters.
