AKC Judge Number 7168 About the Judge My “Nonsuch Kennel “ was started in 1982 when I acquired my first Borzoi. Since that time I’ve bred over 100 American Champions which included Borzoi, Whippets, Parson Russell Terriers, Afghan Hounds and Greyhounds.
When breeding I always stressed beautiful breed type and correct movement (which is the result of proper structure). Dogs from my kennel have been highly successful in both all breed and Specialty shows across the USA.
I’ve been an American Kennel Club Judge since 1999 and have judged all breed and Specialty shows throughout the USA, and I also have judged in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Norway. I’m currently approved for the Hound Group, provisional for the Terrier Group and also am provisional for several Toy, Non Sporting and Herding Breeds.
Approved to Judge Granted by the AKC.
