Ringside Mentors:

SCWT Breed Mentors

The following list represents a compilation of SCWTCA members who have met the requirements to serve the American Kennel Club as breed mentors. The AKC has stringent criteria for all of those applying to judge its approved breeds. One of the paths to meeting these criteria is through mentorship, which may take the form of ringside mentoring at shows with a large entry; e.g., national specialties. Provisional judges and those interested in applying to judge Wheaten Terriers are asked to contact the SCWTCA Judges’ Education Chair, Gay Dunlap (gaydunlap@me.com) in order to obtain a breed mentor.
