Judge Profile

My involvement with purebred dogs began in the late 1970’s, when I met my wife of over 30 years, 2 Great Danes were part of the deal. We bred and exhibited Great Danes, enjoying owning and breeding Best in Show winners, until the mid 90’s, when English
Foxhounds started to take over the kennel.
Since then we have bred and owned Best in Show and Royal Group winning Foxhounds.
My three daughters also exhibit dogs, and through them I have had a direct involvement in Beagles, Boxers, Shar Pei, Siberian Huskies, Afghan Hounds and more recently Harriers. All of those breeds have enjoyed considerable success.
I have been involved with club Management for many of those
years, being a past President of the Great Dane Club of NSW, and
Maitland & Kurri District Kennel Club.
I am currently a Vice President of both the County of Cumberland Kennel Association and also the Liverpool & District Kennel club.
I commenced judging in 1989, and since then I have been lucky
enough to have judged in all states of Australia, and overseas in
Europe and New Zealand.
For the last 20 years, I have been involved in publishing. Our
company Top Dog Media produces canine publications including
Dog News Australia and Dog Show Scene, of which I am Editor-inchief.
Over two decades it has enabled me to see dogs in depth from
Australia, Asia and in fact the world. Every photo that is published in our publications goes via my desk.
