My judging career
My first appointment to judge Briards was in 1987. I was then passed by the Kennel Club to award Challenge Certificates for the breed in 1995. I also judged certain other Pastoral breeds at Open Show level.
My UK judging career climaxed in 2011 when I was invited to judge Briards at the world famous Crufts Show.
Whilst a Committee Member of the Briard Association, I was their representative on the Judges Commission of the UEBB. I have also judged Briards in other countries, having been invited to judge Breed Club Shows in:
- The Netherlands
- Germany (twice)
- Switzerland
- Finland
- Canada, plus their Rassemblement
- America
- Belgium
I have also judged a "Special" for Briards at the Alencon Int. show in France, and a breed event in Denmark.
