Mr. Peter Miller

I had a strong involvement with horses in the early 1990’s and appreciated good conformation through that. My focus on pedigree dogs started in 1999, when I commenced showing cairn terriers with my wife, Ginnette Loft.

Our EMERALDCITY Cairn Terriers have been consistently successful, winning multiple Best in Show awards at Breed specialty, Terrier group and All Breeds levels under Australian and International judges. We have also exhibited Australian Silky Terriers, Norwich and Skye Terriers.

I gained my Terrier judging licence in 2011 and have attained four more group licences since. I found that learning about dogs in various groups has improved my understanding of each breed at a deeper level. Both the theory and the time spent with breeders and handlers going over dogs and talking about the breed characteristics.

I have judged at group level and Speciality shows across Australia, New Zealand (x3), UK, Czech Republic, Finland, and USA (x3).

Some prestigious shows I have judged include the British Terrier Club of NSW Australia (entry 144 terriers), Cairn Terrier Show Finland (entry 90), Kennel Club of Palm Springs USA 2023 Hound Group and 2026 Sporting Group, French Bulldog Fanciers of Southern California (USA) 2023 (entry 98) and the 100th anniversary shows for the Czech Republic Terrier Club 2024.

I am licenced for the following:

FCI (AU650) for groups 3,4,6,7,8,9,10 and multiple breeds from groups 1,2,5.

AKC (99857) for groups Toys, Terriers, Sporting, Hounds, and Non-Sporting.

Australia and New Zealand for Toy Group, Terrier Group, Gundog Group, Hound Group, and Non-Sporting Group.
