I have been in the dog world for around 35 years, and judging for 20+ years .. my primary interest being Retrievers, Sporting & Non-Sporting Dogs
Under my Greysouthen prefix, I have successfully bred, raised, trained, exported/imported and exhibited numerous Show Champions, Grand & Supreme Champions - Retrievers & Continental Gundogs that are also successful in the Field, Tracking, Endurance and Dog Sports.
Over the years I have handled all Retriever and most Gundog breeds and many in other Groups at events around the world including the prestigious Crufts Show in the UK, The Nordic Winners Shows in Scandinavia, European Winners, Westminster in the USA and numerous Royal Shows in Australia.
For the last quarter century, I have concentrated on my main love - the Flat Coated Retriever. Since 2008 I have imported a number of Flatcoats from Scandinavia's top FCR kennels. These include Aust. Supreme Ch: Almanza Double Action Dark Kiss, the son of Crufts BIS Winner Multi Ch: Almanza Backseat Driver. He is acknowledged as the top winning imported Flatcoat of all time in Australia and has become Australia's most influential Sire in recent years.
I am a fully licensed ANKC (& FCI) Championship Judge for all Group 3 Gundogs, Group 7 Non-Sporting, Junior Handlers (and also Group 1 Toys at Open Show level) and an approved/accredited Judges Trainer & Assessor. I have been honoured to judge Breed, Group Specialty, All-Breeds & National shows (including Perth Royal Show) in all States of Australia, North & South Islands of New Zealand, Canada, the USA and also award CACIB's/CAC's in Thailand, Japan, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania and Ireland. Many of my European & Scandinavian appointments have been at some of the largest and most prestigious events including Euro Winners, Nordic Winners and numerous Breed Specialty and National Shows.
My other interests include RATG, Endurance, Tracking, Scentwork and rough shooting during the winter season. I am (or have been) the President of several Gundog & Breed Clubs, am an experienced Show Manager as well as a Royal Show Steward & Announcer ...away from the dog world, I am a keen traveller and have been a licensed Pilot for around 45 years.
