Judge Profile

My first introduction to pure breeds Dogs was when I was 14 years old and lived in Singapore, where I obtained a German Imported Dobermann, when I returned to Australia I continued with Dobermann’s and was involved with the Obedience, and titled three dogs to C.D and U.D.

I have been in the Show Scene since 1983, showing and Breeding Dobermann’s under the prefix SYIDE and along with my wife Lyn who has been involved showing and breeding Shetland Sheepdogs since 1961, under the prefix SHADTREE with many Best-In-Show and Titled dogs. We have owned, shown, and Bred Bearded Collies then moving onto the Non-Sporting Group 7 dogs owning, showing and bred Lhasa Apso, German and Japanese Spitz ,to their Grand Titles with over 20 Best-Best-In Shows, under the prefix SYIDE, we have exported to New Zealand, Singapore, UK, U.S.A, and Ireland. We are also owned by a Powder Puff and Hairless Crestie.
