I have owned, showed and bred Border Collies for over 40 years. I initially worked obedience, some agility and did some sheep dog training. In later years I have concentrated on breed showing having qualified a Border Collie for Crufts in 1978 and every subsequent year.

I have been judging Border Collies since 1978. I have been awarding Border Collie CC's since 1990. I have judged in many countries abroad & now judge all the breeds in the Pastoral & Working Groups, the Groups & Best in Show in the UK at Open Show level.

I am president and founder member of the West Of England BCC. I have been both the Chair of the CEA/DNA working party & the treasurer & still am the Kennel Club representative of the Border Collie Breed Council.

I am a Kennel Club Assured Breeder with all 4 accolades including that for excellence.
