Not sure how much help the site suggested will be to you. Have just looked on the list for my own breed and of the 'judges' listed only one is a breed judge, 2 are non specialists on the clubs B list and none of the others are. So unless you are only putting on 3 or less classes, then the lists are of little use, unless the lists for other breeds are better. It would appear that you can use the site to publicise yourself but there is no check made against the breed club lists.
If you wish to draw a good entry you would find it more helpfull to contact breed club secretaries, you can find the names and details on the Kennel Club site. If you are only putting on 3 or less classes for each breed you would be better to use local people than contact those who may never have judged the breed before.
Better add that my club is due to put out new lists soon, so it may be that some of the people listed are living in hope.

Same here JG mine are not typical hounds either, from what I saw from the lists most have not even judged anything in the group let alone the breed in particular. Think the lists do more for the ego of those who have entered their names than show secretaries. Might just as well enter the varieties classes.
