An international panel of judges were empanelled — Andi Hudono from Indonesia, Petru Muntean from Romania, Stefan Mitrevksi from Macedonia, John Bryson from Australia, and Gerard Jipping and Tatjana Urek Jipping from the Netherlands. Also, the obedience trials are being judged by Manjunath M.R. from India.
