Judge Profile

I have been around hounds, specifically dachshunds all my life with my parents, June and Bill Weston (dec) also All Breeds judges, getting their first Long Haired Dachshund when I was two years old. This led to a childhood of dachshunds and dogshows. I grew up in the showring and particularly enjoyed success as a Junior Handler.

I have extensive judging experience in all groups. I began judging 32 years ago and I am licensed by the Australian National Canine Council to judge at All Breeds level. I have judged at this level for over 18 years. I have judged internationally in USA, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Japan, Ireland, South Africa, Philippines, Malaysia, India, China, Taiwan, Thailand, North and South Islands of New Zealand and Indonesia.
I had the honour and lifetime highlight to judge all Sweepstakes at the 2018 Royal Melbourne Show.

I have bred and exhibited Miniature Long Haired Dachshunds for over 40 years under the Briala Kennel prefix. During this time I have successfully bred and shown Australian Grand and Supreme Champions to Best in Show and other Class in Show awards at All Breeds Championship Shows.

I have been involved with a number of Hound, Gundog, Toy and Working Dog breeds. I have extensive experience owning and showing a successful multi Best in Show winning Pomeranian as well as award winning Shetland Sheepdogs. I have also exhibited English Setters and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to major awards.
