| Biography |
||
| I grew up “in dogs”, showing my father’s Labradors in the breed, obedience, and junior showmanship rings.
We were honoured to win the Labrador National in 1964. At the same time, I had an Irish Water Spaniel of
my own, who became the breed's first Ch. U.D., and was the great-grandmother of Irishtocrat, the 1979
Westminster BIS winner. I have owned and bred English Cocker Spaniels since 1968, maintaining an average of three to five, all kept as pets. Edgewood English Cockers have, at one time or another, won every major award offered at the National, often more than once. One of my "pets" is one of the top sires in the breed, with 121 champions, including five BIS winners, four National winners, and 14 top producers. I have been a member of the English Cocker Spaniel Club of American since 1969, was a founding member of the Owner-Handler Association (my father being its first president), a founding member of the Delaware Valley English Cocker Club, a founding member of the Cary Kennel Club (all-breed), and a member of the Seaboard English Cocker Club. After being employed as an assistant to Robert and Jane Forsyth, I was a professional handler for 15 years, finishing over 450 champions in numerous breeds in all seven groups. It was an honour, a pleasure, and an education to work for some of the top breeders in the country in a number of breeds. In 2000, I was approved to judge all Sporting breeds, and now judge all Hound breeds and 15 breeds in the remaining five groups. I have judged National specialties for seven breeds (the English Cocker National twice), Westminster, the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, an FCI show in Sweden, and awarded C.C.s in my breed in England. |
