I have been a qualified Group 1 judge for a few years and hope to eventually get groups 4,5 and 7, before going on to any other groups. My show history began with my family's German Shepherd and Border Collie, before they changed to Greyhounds, which I then owned and showed to their titles before moving on to whippets. I co-owned a Basenji, a Rough Coat Collie, and an Alaskan Malamute; and bred S.A's Battle of the Champion / Puppy of the Year (All Breeds) whippet (Champion Hydale Dymond Duval). I have been awarded top adult handler of the year by the Chihuahua Club of S.A., and have successfully handled Italian Greyhounds, Miniature Pinschers, Tibetan Spaniels, Lakeland Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Clumber Spaniels, Borzois, Dachshunds, Irish Wolfhounds, Australian Cattle Dogs and Kelpies, Australian Cattle Dogs, Boxers, Schnauzer, Samoyeds, Shiba Inus, Poodles and Schipperkes, for my friends in the dog world (Australia and overseas). My perception of gaining a better understanding of a breed, is to exhibit the specimen in the ring for others. In this way, I have the opportunity to learn about the breed through a 'hands-on' approach; mentoring from the owners and about tricks used for grooming and stacking, and for the general 'feel' of the dog at the end of the lead, instead of just viewing the animal from the side of the ring.
