Mike West UDC judge

[dobermanman]

The UDC pulled Mike West's UDC judging credentials when UScA lifted his UScA license for working with GSDCA/WDA As a AWDF club UDC had to go with the UScA decision :-(

In January Gunther Diegel will be in the US hosting a judges seminar for the WDA. If they pass the test, Mike West, Wendall Nope, and Doug Alexander will all be SVR judges.

If Mike becomes an SVR judge will the UDC restore his judging license?
Will UScA have to recognize his SVR license?
Does the UDC have any IPO judges?

So wait, I'm confused. Judges for the UDC cannot be affiliated with other working clubs or they will get the credentials pulled?

Frist I would ask whether Mike would even want to become involved again.

UDC doesn't have their own judges program. So UDC Judge ships
(at least Schutzhund/IPO) are based on existing licenses. In Mike
West's case his USCA license. Mike took a position with the GSDCA/WDA
and USCA pulled his USCA license. Both USCA and UDC are AWDF members and recognize each others rules. GSDCA isn't a AWDF member
so UDC can't recognize the GSDCA license.

Mike may not have any interest in being a UDC judge again but any UDC club could offer him a judging assignment and if he becomes a
SVR judge UScA and the rest of the AWDF member will have to recognize
the title.
