Judge Profile

I am licensed to judge All Breeds. I have judged in all states of Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Asia, Europe, America, South Africa, Norway, Ireland and judged at the World Dog Show in Hungary.

Actively involved with showing Smooth Fox Terriers for approximately 40 years, I have bred, owned and handled over forty champions under the Optimo prefix in Australia and have exported dogs to America, Germany, Hungary and Finland. I have imported Smooth Fox Terriers from the U.K. and frozen semen from America which has been very successful in the Optimo breeding program.
I also bred and showed Airedale Terriers with my husband Ken who is licensed to judge Terriers and Gundogs.

Jan has judged Fox Terrier Breed Specialities in England and America at the famous Montgomery show, also Gundog, Toy and Terrier Specialties in Australia and overseas, and most other breeds in all states of Australia, New Zealand, America, Europe and Asia.
I and my husband Ken both judged at the prestigious World Dog Show in Hungary which had an entry of 19,000 dogs.

Life Member of the Smooth Fox Terrier Club of Victoria and the Fox Terrier Club of Victoria, and committee member of both clubs for over thirty years. Past Chairperson of the Conformation Committee of the Victorian Canine Association, current President of the Canine Amenities Dog Club and committee member of several all breeds clubs.

I enjoy judging all dogs, and travelling to interesting countries with my husband and meeting fellow enthusiasts and have visited many famous dog shows.
