In 2005, after several years of study as an aspiring judge, I was awarded, at my first attempt, my Group 6 Championship license to judge.

Included in Group 6 is the ROTTWEILER, and following my 25 years background in this breed, this is where my Specialty lies.  However, I am also interested in other breeds and am licensed to judge, at Championship Show level:

I have judged Group Six at a number of All Breeds shows and in 2009 was especially privileged to be invited to judge Rottweilers at both the Rottweiler Club of Victoria Specialty Championship Show, with 150 entrants and also later that year at the West Coast Rottweiler Club Specialty Championship Show. In 2012 I judged 100 exhibits at the Rottweiler Club of Queensland Specialty and In 2014, appointments with the Central Rottweiler Club of New Zealand, and again, the West Coast Rottweiler Club of Australia.
