Judges for the American Whippet Club Regional Specialties are voted on by AWC members within that region. This list of judges includes the results of the Regional Specialty ballots, but judges listed here may be pending approval by the American Kennel Club and are not considered official until published on www.akc.org
Due to COVID, a number of our Regional Specialties have changed locations and judges for 2020, 2021, and 2022. Verify the most current information with each show chair or join the Facebook group for each region for the most up to date information.
