Judge Profile

I have been involved in show dogs since 1975 and in that time the most successful breeds that I have owned and shown include Saluki’s, Whippets, Dobermans, Siberian Huskies, Norfolk Terriers and Papillons. Over the years I have won in excess of 200 Best in Show awards with dogs from these breeds.

My main breed is Saluki’s and I have owned and bred them since 1978 under the Ahmadi prefix in partnership with Phillip Bennett. We have bred in conjunction with Erin Brown and Penny Dunkley of Quanmarra Salukis that have been amongst the top winning Saluki’s in Australia for many years. Our breeding has also been successful with Salukis in America, Japan and Sweden.

My other passion is Papillons and have co owned and bred several Best in Show winners in recent years under the Birikino prefix

I have been judging since 1991 and in 2007 was granted All Breeds status by the Australian National Kennel Control. Countries that I have judged in are Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, America, Thailand, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, China, India, Russia, Indonesia, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, Portugal and Brazil .

I am also a member of our Judges Committee, Chairperson of the Junior Handler Committee and I also give breed lectures on several breeds as well as lecturing on Handling.
