JUDGES AT CRUFTS 2018

 

Judge - Sharon Dunstan

(Dog & Bitch Championships)

I think the only time I can ever say I was 100% speechless was on that day 3 years ago when a large green envelope arrived through the letterbox. I didn't open it immediately as I thought it was some sort of advertisement from the Kennel Club. When I did open it, I think Mam thought I was auditioning for the part of Nemo, the way my mouth was opening and closing but nothing was coming out! I cannot begin to describe the different emotions I went through in a matter of minutes, but to say I am honoured and delighted, is the biggest understatement ever! I would like to thank the Kennel Club Crufts Committee for deeming me worthy of this accolade.

I was brought up in a small farming village in Cumbria and have always had a passion for animals. I loved any interaction with animals, whether I was teaching my horse to jump, teaching a young heifer to walk on a head collar at the local farm where I helped out or training any of our neighbours' dogs that I could get my hands on.

We always had a family pet but when I was 14, I pleaded with my parents to let me have a dog of my own. A GSD was my first choice but I was told I was too young and not big enough to look after such a large dog. My second choice was therefore a 'farm dog', better known to me now as a Border Collie! Along came Nell and it was a natural progression for me to attend the local dog training class at Border DTC in Carlisle. Shortly after I joined, I was chosen to represent the club at the Pedigree Petfoods competition. I'm sure it wasn't because of any good dog training skills that I was chosen, but more likely that I was willing to give it a go(!) and off I went with my parents and Nell to Edinburgh with high hopes of a successful outcome. Well, it wasn't that successful, in fact I cringe at the memories of me encouraging Nell to keep up! But that was all it took for the competition bug to take hold, and it still has a firm grip 30 odd years later. I was lucky that day to meet a very kind lady who came up to me and spoke very encouragingly to me about my round and invited me to attend Wigton DTC which did more competition obedience. That lady is probably my most long standing friend in the obedience world, Pat Wilson, who introduced me to the world of play training and obedience competition.

Nell took me to the dizzy heights of working a 'C' round, she taught me a lot and we had a lot of laughs along the way. I bred one litter of pups from her and kept my next obedience dog, Cally. She was a super girl and lived until she was nearly 19 years old. She got slightly further than her mother by gaining two qualifiers for Championship C, but by then I had attained the age of 'night club, partying and boyfriend' years and dog training was put on the back burner for a little bit. Then in 1996, along came my little Flair. She became my first Obedience Champion, OB CH Piprian Fancy Fleur and was also placed 3rd at the Crufts Championships in 2005. In 2001 along came her baby brother Ross, OB CH Piprian Rustic Ross. I miss my Piprians so much, they were my soul mates. That brings us to current times and I now have 3 dogs, Ella (11 years old) who competed in Championship C but is now retired, her son Jasper who gained his title of Obedience Champion this year, OB CH Murellas Just Jasper (8 years old) making him my third Obedience Champion (but first home bred one) and my youngster Merry, Redistedi Merry Dancer (3 years old) who will be coming out in C this year.

I have been judging since 1989 and have judged Championship classes since 2004. Since then I have judged 17 tickets in total and have thoroughly enjoyed every single one. I consider it a great honour to award that green edged card and have always given it the respect and dedication that it deserves. Competitors spend a lot of time and money before they even enter the ring, and each and every single one deserves a fair crack of the whip.

I am proud to still be a member of Wigton DTC some 30 years later and am the current Chairperson. We run a two day Open/Championship show in August and a further Open show in November. I am a firm believer that everyone should be a member of a registered club and do their bit to help at shows. Otherwise what will happen to our beautiful sport?

Obedience has always been a family activity for me. Both my parents have always enjoyed supporting both my sister and I at the shows. My Dad used to make fantastic sendaway markers and dumbbells and sell them at the local shows. We still see them at most shows that we attend to this day. I have no doubt he would be very proud of my appointment and I hope he will be looking down on Hall 5 still supporting us all the way.

I count myself extremely lucky to be supported by a very experienced team. I have had the pleasure of their friendship for many years and I have no doubt that they will carry out their jobs seamlessly so that I can concentrate on the job in hand.

I hope everyone qualified for the Championships at Crufts 2018 has a fantastic day. All the blood, sweat and tears have paid off and you are competing at the best dog show in the world, make sure you enjoy every minute!

(Inter Regionals - Obedience)

I would like to start by thanking the Kennel Club for their kind invitation to judge the Inter-Regional Obedience competition 2018 such an honour and a privilege to be asked.

I started my life in dogs in 1987 when I joined The East Lanc's DTC with my two GSD's Zeus & Rommel purely to get some help with the training of my two unruly boisterous young dogs. It soon became very clear that obedience was the way forward for them, and I started competition, although I never reached any dizzy heights with them I had a great time learning and spent many weekends competing, and being fortunate enough to make a lot of good friends through obedience. Then in 1993 I started my judging career which I found I loved, and have continued to judge most weekends, working my way up to judge Championship classes, which again I feel is such a privilege to judge the cream of our sport.

We have had the privilege of owning many dogs in our time most of them being GSD's but lots of other breeds as well, we have being involved with GS rescue and other rescues, fostering and rehoming many lovely dogs, and helping wherever we can which we find so rewarding.

My biggest achievement in our sport was qualifying our Beautiful GSD Zelda Bedwins Vieli into Championship C and although we were never fortunate enough to have gained a CC with her, the journey was fun in fact hilarious with her antics, as anybody who remembers her will verify but so exciting and memorable for many reasons.

My wife and I ran the two day BGSDTC open and championship obedience show for many years, and I was Obedience council Representative for the North West area for six years. Every role I have had in our sport has been rewarding in its own way, but I think the role I am about to undertake will be the most rewarding of all and I am looking forward to my judging appointment at Crufts 2018 and would like to take this opportunity to wish each and every competitor the very best of luck - enjoy your time on the green carpet and the experience of competing at Crufts 2018 for your region, but most of all enjoy your dogs.

(Inter Regionals - Rally)

I am honoured to have been invited to judge the Inter-Regional Rally Team competition at Crufts this year. The anticipation has been building as my Ring Team and myself prepare for the big day. I am looking forward to seeing the best dogs and handlers from the seven Regions stepping out to represent our sport.

Rally is a recent addition to the Obedience Ring in Hall 5 with this being the second year that the competition has been run. I first became aware of Rally through overseas friends so when it was introduced over here I had to find out more. In 2009, along with three friends, I attended my first Rally workshop. I was immediately hooked. We came home and set up a training group, went onto found a Rally Section in the local KC Registered Club and now I run my own Competitive Rally Club.

I enjoy a wide variety of disciplines with my dogs. I have shown successfully, and competed in Obedience and Agility, however, Rally is my sport. I am very proud to have qualified my dog, Rupert, at the first ever KC Rally Show in April 2013, FITdogs Halifax, and am thrilled to be judging Rally on the green carpet in this 5th Anniversary year.

Rupert went on from his debut to rack up a number of Breed firsts in Rally including being the first Toller to gain his RL6-Ex, which he did in style with the class win at Nuneaton 2015, retiring a year later with one final Level 6 qualifier at 12 years old. My Finnish Lapphund, Eeva is another trail-blazer for her breed being the first, and to date only, Lapphund to gain a Level 6 Qualifier (after Crufts we will work on finishing that title!). I also have two younger Tollers, and of course, Orsa and Jasper are also Rally dogs.

I feel it is extremely important for us all to put back into our sports, as well as running weekly training classes, I organise Rally Competitions for my own club, the NSDTR Club of UK and the Ladies Kennel Association. I enjoy judging and see my role as a judge to provide the competitors with a course that enables them to shine and showcase their talents.

I hope the competitors enjoy their day and my courses and, more importantly, build happy memories and friendships to last a lifetime.

(KCGCDS Special Pre Beginner Obedience Stakes Final)

What can I say, only that it is an honour to have been invited to judge the KCGC Special Pre Beginner Obedience Stakes Final at Crufts in 2018.

I started in Obedience in the early 1980's, working a working sheepdog called Jess Perfect. Training commenced with Brenda Harvey at Solihull DTC, who gave me a good grounding in obedience. Then I was lucky to join a club with Bruce and Bron Bartley who guided us through all the classes from beginners to C.

My next dog was Maggie May who was also worked through to C.

After moving to Wales I joined Carmarthen Canine and now run two 2 day shows, one of which is a Championship show, and I currently instruct for Carmarthen Canine.

My thanks to Heidi and the Kennel Club for the invitation. I have been in Obedience for over 30 years competing and judging in all classes. Crufts finals are a very special day and I hope you all have the best experience of your lives.

Have a good day all!

(YKC Obedience)

I am hugely honoured to have been invited to judge the YKC Obedience competition at Crufts 2018 and I would like to thank the Kennel Club and the Crufts committee for giving me this amazing opportunity.

This is an event that means a lot to me having competed at Crufts in the YKC / KCJO as it was known then from the age of 9 up to 16 years old. I competed in the Test Of Obedience, Intermediate and Advanced Obedience competitions, Triathlon and Biathlon Competitions and the Flyball competition representing the North East region with 3 different dogs. 

I also won the Rebecca Pointer Memorial Trophy for 5 consecutive years with Tyke my first Border Collie and we also went on to win 3 Reserve Championship C awards. 

I have been involved in competitive Obedience for over 20 years and now compete with Scout who is 7 years old and in Championship Class C. I also have Frankee who is 13 years old and is now retired and Enzo who is 12 months old and is yet to start his competitive obedience career. 

I judge regularly up to and including Championship Class C and I am now Team Manager for the Northern area in the Inter Regional Obedience competition held at Crufts, so I will be extremely busy. Just how I like it.  

Having competed in the KCJO or YKC, I fully understand how nervous and excited all the handlers and their dogs will be and I hope they all enjoy the experience. 

I would like to thank Alison Gresty and Tina Kimblin for very kindly giving up their day to be a part of this experience, I really appreciate it. 

I am looking forward to meeting all the handlers and their dogs and will be excited to watch how they handle their dogs and seeing the bond between dog and handler.

I would like to wish each competitor every bit of luck and to enjoy every minute of their special day.
