2025 Conclave Foreign Judge

The CEB-US is excited to announce that Jose Luis Recondo of Spain will be our guest foreign judge for this year's conclave.  Mr. Recondo is the current president of the Amicale Internationale des Clubs de l'Épagneul Breton (AICEB) and has been a field judge in Spain since 1988.  He recently earned his credentials for Conformation in 2023 but has been a student of the EB since 1990 and a student of pointing dogs since long before that.  We are extremely honored to have Mr. Recondo accept our invitation to come to our conclave.
