Sharon Masnick began showing dogs in 1986. Ten years ago, she made the decision to pursue judging and currently judges the Toy Group, Juniors, Shetland Sheepdogs, Azawakh, and most of the Non-Sporting Group. She is a breeder-judge for Pomeranians, Toy Fox Terriers, Japanese Chin, Pekingese, and Shiba Inu. She has had the honor to judge the Chihuahua Club of America National and Toy Breed Specialty Shows for Toy Fox Terriers, Biewer Terriers, Havanese, Chinese Cresteds, Papillons, Pekingese, Pomeranians, Silky Terriers, and Yorkshire Terriers. Sharon is a member of the American Pomeranian Club and the Myrtle Beach Kennel Club. If she is not doing something dog show-related, she can be found working for Georgetown County School District.
