Judge Profile

I have been involved in show dogs since 1999, breeding and exhibiting cairn terriers under the Emeraldcity prefix with my wife. Our cairn terriers have been successful, winning multiple Best In Show awards at Breed, Terrier and All Breeds levels under Australian and International judges. After visiting a number of kennels in the UK, we imported a cairn terrier from a well-known kennel, who has sired Breed specialty winners. We have also exhibited Silky Terriers, Norwich and Skye Terriers.

I have been involved with Breed, Group and All Breed clubs in Australia, and have attended shows internationally including Crufts, Breed and All Breeds shows.

I have been judging since 2012, commencing in Sydney when I judged over 140 terriers at an All Breeds Championship show. I have since had appointments in several states of Australia as well as overseas.

I had the privilege of judging Terrier group specialty shows in both Australia and New Zealand, and a highlight was judging the 2014 British Terrier Club Show in Sydney. Another prestigious show I judged was a National Cairn Terrier Show in Saint Petersburg Russia in 2016. I also judged the Terrier group at the same venue.
In 2017 I had the privilege of judging a Cain Terrier specialty show in Finland and also at two all breeds shows.

I am licenced to judge Toy group, Terrier group, Hound group, Non Sporting group, and currently training for my Gundog group licence. I am licenced for ANKC, FCI and AKC.
