I have been licensed to judge Boxers since 1982 and Cavaliers since 1996. My husband David and I, under our Trefoil kennel name, have bred and actively shown both breeds for many years, with about 65 championships achieved. I have been honoured to judge the American Boxer Club National Specialty on two separate occasions and the American Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club National once. I have served lengthy terms in both breeds as Chair of Judges’ Education.
