I began showing dogs in the early sixties with my parents Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s. Then in the early seventies I acquired my first Old English Sheepdog. I showed a number of O.E.S. to their New Zealand titles. I also at this time purchased my first Norwegian Elkhound and have owned or bred twelve New Zealand champions including my USA import NZ Ch Windy Cove Brut N’ Rodna’s Banjo, who was shown with some success in the U.K. for me, by Joe Cartledge.
In 1977 I acquired my first Tibetan Terrier NZ Ch Granton Milord Argyle from Sue Wilson in Australia. Bobby was the first T.T. to come to New Zealand and the first T.T. champion in this country.
I followed this up with the purchase of Tibetan terriers from Jill Gould (NZ Ch Arkatagh Sarabande) Cindy Hewitt (NZ Ch Chiangtzu Berillium ), Joan Cain (NZ Ch Jemecs Briareus and NZ Ch Jemecs Endymion ) Krista Guziolek (NZ Ch. Boshanti Tyson) and Audrey Flockart (NZ Ch Qinghai Ga Dongge Imp. Aust.).
To date I have owned or bred eighty-two Tibetan terrier champions in New Zealand, Australia and the USA.
When I married Louise, I inherited her Samoyeds and to date we have owned or bred twenty-five Samoyed champions including the South Islands first Grand Champion Samoyed. Together Louise and I have owned or bred one hundred and twenty-four NZ, Australian or US champion, T.T.’s, O.E.S., Samoyeds and Elkhounds.
In 1978 I was admitted to the New Zealand Kennel Club Judges Panel. I am at licensed to judge all breeds and groups at Championship level and to award C.C.’s to all breeds in those groups and to judge Best in Show. I have judged in New Zealand, Australia, England, USA, Russia, China, Slovakia, South Africa, Canada and Ireland. I judged the Tibetan Terrier Assn. Championship Show and the Northern Samoyed Soc. "Samoyed of the Year Contest" in 2002 in the United Kingdom. In April 2004 I judged the New South Wales Samoyed Club's Championship Show in Sydney. in 2018 I judged the Slovakian Samoyed club Samoyed specialty and the 1st Euro Samoyed Specialty. I had the honour in 1996 of awarding the first Hamiltonstovare challenge certificates in New Zealand.

Committee and Treasurer South Island Old English Sheepdog Club.
