As a child I grew up in a house filled with animals. I always loved dogs as we had three German Shepherds. At the age of 16 my parents brought me my very own puppy. That was the start of my journey in the German Shepherd Dog Club and competitive world of dog sports. Since then I have gone on to own numerous GSD’s and an Australian Shepherd achieving almost 30 Australian Titles in Conformation, Obedience, Rally Obedience, Herding and Dances with Dogs.
In 2003 I attended my first ever National where I handled as a junior. At the 2018 Adelaide National I accomplished one of my biggest achievements winning not only the Bronze Medal in Obedience but a Dual Excellent. For me moving on from being a junior club member, to then being invited to judge at the 2019 National is a huge honour and privilege which I’m extremely excited about.
I would like to wish all the competitors a successful trial, best of luck for some lovely passes.
