The countdown to Shabfest 2023 has begun
It is now time to introduce the judges for this year.
Today is the turn of Eugeen Kennes ...

Hi
I am Eugeen Kennes and i live in the north of Belgium. I am 63 years old and for the last 12 years full time trainer of young dogs.
I judge now also for 14 years now and i judged a few big international trials like the Czech open and the Dolomiti Open and the Open C**n. trial and several nationals.
As a judge i like to see respect for dog and sheep and fellow competitors. Personally i like the flewent forward going dogs with natural balance and good sheep sense
I wish you all good luck on the trial field
