Full Time/Part-Time Superintendents - Work at
dog shows as a licensed AKC superintendent. Duties
include: Overseeing the proper set-up of rings, collection
and processing of show results and resolving any
discrepancies, monitoring and coordinating the schedule on
the show day, answer exhibitor questions, serve the needs
of the club, work with the AKC field staff, and collect
entries for future shows. Additional office duties apply
to full-time positions during the week in Greensboro, NC.
Depending upon the position, duties may include
corresponding with clubs, proofreading premium lists,
judging programs, catalogs, and advertising, answering
exhibitor questions, etc. If you become a full-time
superintendent you should be aware there are times when
you work seven days a week (for example, in the office
Monday-Friday and on the road Friday to Monday). In
addition, you must possess the ability to leave the field
of competition behind. While you may certainly appreciate
a good dog, a superintendent’s job does not require one to
go over dogs, promote dogs, groom dogs at a show, etc.
AKC requirements to be a Superintendent:
- Work as a superintendent at a minimum of three shows
- Not under suspension
- Cannot be a Judge
- Cannot be a Delegate
- Show no dogs for 30 days prior to or after working

For those who may wish to apply as assistant set-up crew
members who will not be driving one of our DOT-mandated
trucks, a CDL is not necessary. These positions require
much time away on the road.
Other positions - From time to time we also have
positions open that do not require the same skill set as
superintendents or set-up crew. Those positions might
include knowledge of printing, typesetting, graphic arts,
bindery experience, mailroom experience or ribbon/rosette
