Biography
My involvement with purebred dogs began in the late 1970's, when I met my wife of over 40 years, 2 Great Danes were part of the deal. We bred and exhibited Great Danes successfully, owning and breeding Best in Show winners until the mid 90's, when English Foxhounds started to take over the kennel. Since then we have bred and owned Best in Show, Royal Group winning & Record breaking English Foxhounds & Harriers. We have bred or owned over 50 champions in these breeds. In recent years hounds from our kennel Foxhunt have been exported to the USA, Europe, the UK and New Zealand. My three daughters also breed and exhibit dogs and through them I have had a direct involvement in Beagles, Boxers, Shar Pei, Siberian Huskies, Afghan Hounds, Rhodesian Ridgebacks and more recently Dobermanns. All of those breeds have enjoyed considerable success. I am privileged to be a Councillor at the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW where my main role currently is Chairman of Companion Animals, a role which enables me the great honor of overseeing the organization and successful execution of Australia's largest and most prestigious show The Sydney Royal Dog Show. My Judging career commenced in 1989 and since then I have been lucky enough to have judged in all states of Australia, overseas in Finland, The Philippines, Indonesia, Canada, The USA, Japan, Thailand and extensively in New Zealand. For the last 30 years, I have been involved in publishing. Our company Top Dog Media produces canine publications including Dog News Australia of which I am Editor-in-chief. Over three decades it has enabled me to see dogs in depth from Australia, Asia and in fact the world. As part of my work with Top Dog Media I wrote the best selling book The Concise Australian Dog Judges Guide, which has now had five editions and been eagerly sought after by judges all over the world.
