Judge's Education Conformation events showcase a breeder's stock for a physical structural evaluation by a judge. The process of comparing dogs helps educate breeders to select physically sound individuals with breed "type" that fulfills the breed standard. The AKC allowed the Boykin to compete in the AKC Miscellaneous classes on January 1, 2008. Starting December 31, 2009 the Boykin Spaniel could begin to compete for AKC Conformation Championship points. The BSCBAA's Conformation Education Standing Committee works with the AKC and AKC affiliated groups to help educate AKC judges and breeders interpret the visual creation of the Boykin Spaniel's founding breeder, Lemuel Whitaker "Whit" Boykin (1861-1932).This Committee's duties include overseeing, advising, and updating educational materials, scheduling seminars and ringside observation hosted by the BSCBAA, approving and recommending presenters seminars hosted by other AKC local clubs or judge's groups. Please visit our Calendar of Events for a schedule of upcoming opportunities.
