JUDGES AT CRUFTS 2017

 

Judge - Alan Gresty

(Dog & Bitch Championships)

My first visit to Crufts Obedience Championships as a spectator was almost thirty five years ago. It was at Earls Court back in those days and whilst sat in the crowded stands as a rank beginner handler, I was in awe at the standard of competition, and said to myself “one day I'm going to be working my dog in that arena”. But little did I dare to dream that one day I would be judging that very same competition.

To coin a well worn cliché, it is indeed a privilege and an honour to be invited to judge this, the crowning event of the canine obedience calendar, and to say I was thrilled to receive the invitation is an understatement.

Along with this privilege I am aware that it comes with a huge responsibility. The amount of time, money, patience and skill required to qualify for the Championships demands the greatest respect.

My love affair with this sport started in 1981 when I was renovating an old barn and our neighbours in the farm next door had just bred a litter of collies. The last one left in the litter was a little girl totally white with a classic black and white head. That was it I was hooked and home she came.

Shellie came everywhere with me and even though I was doing the house and in the throws of developing my business, I couldn't resist teaching her tricks because I was fascinated how quickly she learned. It was then I decided to take her to dog training classes.

At the dog club there were a few people into competitive obedience and when I saw what their dogs were capable of doing, I thought that's definitely for me, and that was the start of my competitive career. Shellie thoroughly enjoyed her training, and took us from beginners to Ticket teaching me an awful lot along the way.

I now had four passions in my life my family, my business, my house renovating and my dog training. That created a very busy lifestyle!.

I feel lucky to have qualified for the Obedience Championships with two dogs, my first being in 1997 with Ziggy (Shace Tamarist Star) that was a very special day that I will never forget, a dream realised. Ziggy also qualified for breed at Crufts and appeared on several occasions.

After this there was a lull in proceedings with training taking a back seat as other priorities in my life took over, more house renovating and business interests, in fact for a couple of years I had to alternate shows with my wife Alison, she did one weekend, and I had to do the next. Then in 2006 I got my act together and won my first ticket with Alfie ( Ob Ch Amarissta Dynasty) we enjoyed Crufts together for three more years before her retirement in 2011.

I started judging the lower classes in 1988 and judged my first ticket in 2000 at NA&ATS, and have been judging Ticket classes regularly since then.

My super team are Paul Evans, Tina Kimblin, Alison Gresty, Keith Wall, Stephanie Evans, Stuart Kimblin, Gwynneth Williams, and last but certainly not least Jan Tootall. I would like to thank them all for their support, hard work and dedication in preparation for this once in a lifetime occasion, and we will be doing all we can to make Crufts 2017 enjoyable for everyone, whether competing or spectating and hope it will be a positive experience for all handlers , first timers and seasoned campaigners alike.

Judge - Lee Lampert

(Inter Regionals - Obedience)

I would like to thank the Kennel Club for the invitation to judge the 2017 Inter-Regional Obedience Competition. This is an event that I hold close to my heart having had the privilege to have taken part in it on six occasions with three different dogs, all German shepherds. I can remember the phone call back in 1983 from the late Mike Porter asking if I would like to take part with Misha and how excited I was to be asked to represent the Southern Team! How amazing all these years later to be asked to judge this great competition - this was something I could not refuse!

My dog training career started back in 1975 with a very unruly German shepherd called Pilot. All I wanted when I took him to dog training classes was to stop him pulling on the lead! Well one evening a certain Mrs Bishop came to our dog club to form a competition class, that’s when I was introduced to competitive obedience and I was hooked!

I went on to qualify three German shepherds and two Border collies to work Championship C also known as the Ticket class. The icing on the cake came for me after gaining six reserve CCs was when in 1999 I won my first Ticket with my lovely Whitney Kayander Enchantment I was made up!

I have also competed and been successful in working trials something I really enjoy.

I started judging in 1984 and went on to qualify to judge and award challenge certificates and did so for 16 years.

I have been running a dog club in Brighton where I live for 35 years - puppy classes have always been popular so some years ago I joined the Kennel Club Good Citizen Scheme, and after putting many dogs and puppies through it remains very successful. It was always my aim to promote responsible dog ownership and I think the Good Citizen Scheme is a brilliant way of doing this.

I am looking forward to my judging appointment and would like to wish everyone who is taking part the best of luck and hope you all enjoy your day. Lee Lampert

(Inter Regionals - Rally)

I am hugely honoured to have been asked to judge the inaugural Interregional Rally Competition at Crufts 2017.

I've been involved in dogs and dog training all my life, primarily in Obedience, however I was fortunate to have had the chance to be involved in all disciplines as a Kennel Club Junior Organisation (now called Young Kennel Club) member, handling a wide variety of breeds.  I've worked some wonderful dogs and achieved accomplishments in Competitive Obedience, also enjoying many successes at Crufts in KCJO Obedience together, both as an individual and in team events.  I've been an Open Obedience Judge for over 20 years, and act as a calling steward and scribe at all levels.  I was delighted to judge both the YKC Triathlon and Biathlon competitions at Crufts a few years ago, which combined Obedience with Agility and Showing.

Over the last few years I've been involved in several 'firsts', such as taking part with my dog in the first ever Good Citizen demo in Crufts Main Ring in 1992, being part of the first Dog Club to take and pass the Gold Good Citizen Award, being part of the accompanying parade with my dog at Crufts for the first 'Friends for Life', being involved in the launch of the Safe and Sound Scheme, more recently being the first UK KC Rally judge to judge overseas – namely in Italy, and of course the most important 'first' is this judging appointment for the first Interregional Rally Competition.

Rally is a delightful sport, suitable for all breeds, shapes, sizes and ages of both dog and handler!  It's my pleasure to organise and lead the Rally Display Teams at Crufts each year, both in Dog Activities (Hall 3) and as part of the display in the Main Ring.  In 2013 I brought my senior Border Collie out of retirement to compete in Rally and we qualified through all the levels before her final retirement.  I campaigned my Papillon through Level 1 last year and am currently working on my young Collie and a couple more Papillons.   I enjoy judging and scribing at all levels, particularly given the wide variety of breeds that Rally attracts.

I hope to see a large audience on Thursday 9th March, encouraging the partnerships who have been chosen to represent their region at a variety of levels of experience.  The introduction of Rally at Crufts has awakened a lot of debate about the sport and its place, especially in comparison to other, more established, disciplines. However, whatever your opinion has been up to now, it would be wonderful to see you in Hall 5 to support the partnerships who have put in such work and dedication to be selected.

As judge, my priority is to ensure that each team enjoys their experience and that we showcase the sport we love. There will be music, smiles, camaraderie, fun, friendly competition, and dogs and handlers thoroughly enjoying working together: everything we all love about Rally.

(KCGCDS Special Pre Beginner Obedience Stakes Final)

What an honour!  The third time I have been invited by the Kennel Club to officiate at Crufts, firstly the Obedience Championships in 2000, the KCJO obedience classes (now YKC) in 2001 and now the Good Citizens Special Pre-Beginners stake.  My sincere thanks to the Kennel Club for putting their trust in me!

I am Lake District born and bred, a retired legal secretary and a very enthusiastic dog lover being owned at the present by two half sister Border Collies (who hate each other!) Ferry (Grenaby Reflection) and Celti (Grenaby Hot Chocolate) who occasionally trundle me into an "A" and Novice ring respectively. I started in obedience some xxx years ago with a yellow Labrador Retriever Sandy of Ghyll Head who got me to the dizzy heights of a 6th place in Ch. 'C' – what a dog and how much he taught me!  He was my first dog and my dad said I could only have him if I took him to training classes which I did and which were then run by the Railway Police in Carlisle.  I have also trained and handled a German Shepherd up to and including Championship 'C' (she was owned by Lawrence Telford of Ob.Ch. Meiklestane Moondust fame) and she was also successful in the breed ring, together with handling a Sheltie and Miniature Poodle for other people in lower classes.  My first collie Ob.Ch. Millbrow Sapphire was quite simply one in a million, bred to work sheep but just happy to work anything or anywhere, a real character.  She was followed by Millbrow Smoky Quartz, Millbrow Mica and Millbrow Sheza Gem, all Border Collies but at the time having a handler with too many personal problems to give them the time they deserved.

I have judged, scribed and stewarded for a number of years, both at open and championship level together with judging Good Citizen participants locally.  I have judged a number of times in Holland, Northern and Southern Ireland, the Isle of Man and South Africa where I had the honour of judging their obedience championships.

Unfortunately my long time travelling companion, Pam Hannah, died in August 2015 and I will miss her input for these Pre-Beginner stakes – she was very much an organiser – but I will be assisted by two thirds of Team Bragg – Brenda and Angela, and I know we will all really enjoy this appointment.  Good luck to all the participants and your best pals and remember you will all take the best dog home on the day.

(YKC Obedience)

I feel very proud to have been invited to judge the Young Kennel Club Obedience Finals at Crufts 2017 and I thank the Committee most sincerely for the honour. My involvement with the YKC began way back when it was called the KCJO and my own children had enormous fun at camps, seminars and competitions. I regularly taught obedience and Good Citizen related exercises to members and judged their competitions. My daughter qualified for Crufts every year from the age of 8 to 18 and also stewarded and helped younger members. In those ‘olden days’ there was just the Test of Obedience which was also used in the Triathlon. This exciting competition comprised a regional team where each of the three team members specialised in either Obedience, Agility or Show Handling. The marks were added together to find the winner so a real all round team was needed, this was huge fun and provoked interest in the other disciplines as part of the team effort. One year the South East and East Anglia team was invited onto Blue Peter to demonstrate their skills. The team then comprised Amy Bennett, Louise Jones and Pippa Wood who all now have a Blue Peter badge! I was subsequently asked by the production team at Blue Peter to help train their current puppy, Lucy. Lucy came to class for many years with her owner and passed her Good Citizen Award (there was only one award then), she was filmed taking the test with the presenter among a group of youngsters...and a few adults, that I had in class at the time. I insisted that the test was conducted properly and fairly and had to train the presenter to handle her. I was very relieved when she and other members of the class passed and I now have a Blue Peter badge!

I have been involved in Obedience for many years and have competed and judged at all levels including Championship C. I have trained a dog to work sheep and had a very enjoyable couple of years competing in sheepdog trials. I had a dabble in Agility too in its early days. My current dog is a very talented chap and as well as working B and C in obedience has taken me into the fascinating sport of Working Trials. He sped through the stakes, probably rather quicker than was good for me as a newcomer to the sport but I have caught up now and was thrilled when he won his first Challenge Certificate in 2015 after running off for the ticket by doing a three hour old track a snowstorm. This qualified him for the Kennel Club Working Trial Championships 2015 which is the equivalent to Crufts for trial dogs. In September 2016 he won a second CC which gives him the title Working Trials Champion Ludgate Power ‘n’ Glory CD Ex, UD Ex, WD Ex, TD Ex, A Ex. To say I am over the moon is somewhat of an understatement! The variety of exercises and skills needed is unlike that of any other dog sport and the camaraderie and support of fellow competitors is unrivalled.

I have shared my life with Jack Russells and German Shepherds as well as the collies that are my first love. As well as training and competing, we love walking in the countryside and taking our dogs on holiday in our caravan.
