I first became involved in the world of showing dogs in 1977 with an English Cocker Spaniel. In 1979 I moved in to the Hound Group with the first of what was to become many Afghan Hounds. In 1983 the English Springer Spaniel “Ch Wongan Southn Silk” arrived returning my involvement with the Gundog group. Silks breeder also bred American Cocker Spaniels and I regularly handled them at shows. In 1984 I obtained my first exhibition greyhound and soon followed by importing the first of two from Dagmar Kenis’ “Solstrand” Kennels in England. Ch Solstrand Vanity Fair and Ch Racey Lacey from Darquell both went on to Win All Breeds BIS’s as well as producing Champions including some BIS winners. In the early 90’s American Cockers were added to “MY” breeds, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel joined the team late in 2004.
In all I have owned/bred/exhibited 25 Australian champions and have had specialty challenge and Royal show challenge winners in 4 of my breeds. These include Numerous All Breeds Best In Show winners as well as Specialty Best in Show winners and Runner Best In show at the 2002 Afghan National Specialty from the junior class. I am not a prolific breeder but I enjoy handling and judging. As well as my own dogs, I currently handle 3 varieties of Dachshunds, Standard Long, Miniature Long Haired & Miniature Wire Haired for Colleen Cornelissen from Chipal Kennels and Afghan Hounds for Ada & Terry Wilcox from Alaqadar Kennels. I have also handled many other breeds over the years I have been involved in the dog world.
I was granted my Hound Championship Judges license in 1990, and have now added Gundogs in 2005, Non-Sporting in 2006, Toys in 2007, Terriers in 2008 and the Utility group in 2009. Currently training for the Working group to give me All Breeds Status.
