Breeding under the world-famous Clussexx prefix, Doug Johnson has produced more than 250 AKC Champions. Dogs from his kennel have won more than 175 Best in Show awards and 18 National Specialties across four breeds. Mr. Johnson holds the distinct honor of producing two Westminster Best in Show winners, and he is the only breeder of Westminster Best in Show winners in two different breeds. He is approved to judge five Groups in the AKC system; all Sporting, Hound, Working, Toy, and Non-Sporting. He has had the privilege of judging at some of the most prestigious shows in the AKC system. A founder in the Canine Conservation movement, Mr. Johnson strives to be a voice for all breeders who work tirelessly to produce and promote their breed of choice. He believes, “Advocating for dogs is a passion, but also a responsibility to ensure the successful longevity of unique breeds. Together, we must continue to foster the best breeding practices to keep breeds from extinction.”
