I am licenced to judge All Breeds plus Junior Showmanship. Breeds I have owned and shown are Shetland Sheepdogs, Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, Great Dane and Smooth Fox Terrier. I have bred both Pyreneans and Shelties under the DeAmonte prefix.

I am actively involved in club administration having spent many years as President of Marlborough Kennel Assn, serviced 2 terms as a Dogs NZ Executive Councillor plus 10 years on the board of the NZ Dog Judges Assn.

In addition to judging assignments in NZ and Australia I have also judged the NZKC National Junior Handler final and the ANKC Junior Handler Final at the Perth Royal in 2014.
