I became interested in showing dogs as a child, having been brought up in a household of Dachshunds. My first show dog however, was a Dalmatian purchased in 1979, and I have continued to breed and exhibit Dalmatians ever since; firstly under the Dalriant prefix, and now under Ravenwynter. In that time my kennel has made up 27 Champions, including 2 Grand Champions. I have won 15 Best in Show awards including 8 Dalmatian Specialties, and 10 Royal Show Challenges in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra & Brisbane. The prestigious Club Cup for top Dalmatian in NSW has been won by 4 different dogs from this kennel.
Other breeds with which I am associated are German Shorthaired Pointers, which I owned and exhibited in the 1990s, and also Beagles from imported USA & Finnish bloodlines. Beagles bred under the Ravenwynter prefix have also had major successes in the show ring, including Beagle �Bitch of the Year� NSW in 2009, with many Group and Class in Show wins on the way.
I am licensed to judge Toys, Gundogs, Hounds, Non Sporting and more recently Terriers, and have judged Dalmatian Specialties in NSW, QLD, SA and the USA, a Beagle Specialty in Thailand, plus numerous other Group appointments in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Thailand. I have attended several World Dog shows, as well as Dalmatian Specialties in the USA. In 2011 I judged the Toy, Sporting, Hound and Non Sporting Group Specials in Hanford, CA. I am currently licensed to judge the Herding and Working groups at Open show level only.
I have served on the Committee of several dog Clubs, including the Dalmatian Club of NSW Inc., and the Non Sporting Dog Club, and am currently President of the Beagle Club of NSW Inc. I am also involved with the Judges Training Scheme in this state as an accredited assessor, and have provided lectures, training and assessments for aspiring judges in the Toy, Non Sporting and Hound groups.
