WELCOME TO THE NM STEWARDS ASSOCIATION
MEMBERSHIP AND INFORMATION BLOG

The mission and duties of dog show stewards working in the 
New Mexico Stewards Association are delineated by the American Kennel Club's "Rules Applying To Dog Shows": 
"A good dog show steward makes the work of judging a dog show easier by relieving the judge of unnecessary details. By assembling classes promptly, one will be able to keep the judging on schedule and eliminate, to a large extent, delays between classes.
Dog show stewarding is hard work with little or no compensation save the satisfaction that comes from the knowledge that the work has been done well.
Main stewarding duties:
• hand out armbands
• assemble classes promptly
• keep an accurately marked catalog noting placements, absentees and disqualifications
• prepare ribbon and trophy awards for each class
• keep the ring neat and clean
• contact show photographer, clean-up crews and veterinarians or superintendent through the public address system"
