Visiting Judges

I owned my first GSD when I was 18 years old and worked her in Obedience. My interest and passion was always in the show world and I attained my Silkenwood Kennel name in 1978. In those early days I had what I have always regarded as my most memorable win with my Cito v Konigsbruch daughter, Silkenwood Celli, she won Puppy Bitch at the first two day championship show in the UK at Weston Park, handled by myself in a class of 64. 
We have been fortunate over the years to have many good dogs to win CC’s & make up Champions but this was the most special.
My first judging appointment was in 1980 & my first Championship appointment in 1999, since then I have judged for many top GSD Clubs in Uk & Ireland.
I have always appreciated the International GSD & over the years have imported some amazing dogs to our kennel such as Natz v Hasenborn, Quando v Lumdatal, Chevin di Casa Mary, Natz del Alto Pino, Larro Team Gaudi, Lux di Ca de Pace, Omar di Casa Maggiore & Napoli di Casa Palomba. We have also proudly managed & campained dogs for their owners Int Ch Quan v Goldenen Strand, Ch Indo v Tamaraspitze, Jarno v Santamar, Irko v Nivalda, Xeron v Fichtenschlag & most recently VA(I) Tom di Santa Venere
We ran a training club & held many successful shows inviting Judges from Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden & France.
We have also travelled regularly to Germany, Italy & France for their Sieger shows over the last 40 years.
I hope to judge some beautiful dogs at this my first judging appointment in Pakistan, I thank you for inviting me & look forward to a great day.
