ABOUT YOUR JUDGE:

“I came into Lhasa Apsos in 1981, my first Lhasa gained 3 Reserve C.C's, followed by another male who became a Champion four years later. I have also bred a Nordic Champion who has sired Champions for his owner.

My husband and I are founder members of the North of England Lhasa Apso Club. I have judged at the North of England Lhasa Apso Club and the Midland Lhasa Apso Association's Open show.

My sister and I have recently ventured into Pugs in partnership, with some success, we bred top puppy in the breed in 2004. I look forward to the opportunity to judge your dogs at this show.”
