Bred his first Crufts BOB winner at 10yrs and since then the Vanitonia kennel has made up over 90 Champions in 6 Breeds across 3 Groups. Lee has personally been awarded over 500 CC s. Lee started judging at the age of 13 yrs and awarded his 1st set of CC s at 23 yrs in Clumber Spaniels, the family breed. Lee was proud to have Judged this breed at Crufts in To date, Lee currently awards CC s in 28 breeds across Gundog, Toy and Utility Groups. He is also a Championship Group and BIS Judge. Lee has judged extensively abroad in many countries across the globe. Lavinia MacKenzie-Goodwin (Warlaven) New Zealand. I would like to introduce myself, I live in New Zealand and began in 1970 with Golden Retrievers and over the years established a line I believe which had quality and soundness, in 1980 I broaden my lines with the introduction of progeny from Australia and the United Kingdom. I have also been involved with Breeding, Showing and Field Trialing German Short Haired Pointers. With my daughter I have also shared a passion for breeding and showing Whippets. Currently in New Zealand I judge the Gundog and Hound Groups and am sitting the Working Group this year. I have Judged extensively throughout New Zealand and Australia. Since gaining my Gundog Group in 1998 I have Judged 3403 dogs to date. I am honoured to have the opportunity to Judge at your Show. Nicola Spencer (Bannonbrig). I have been Involved in exhibiting and breeding for almost 40 years, starting out as a Junior Handler. I have owned Irish Setters, Miniature Dachshunds and Spinoni with many homebred Champions around the world. I have served as Secretary and Committee Member for various societies and currently Treasurer of The Jack Russell Terrier Club. I commenced judging in the late 1980s,first passed to award CCs in 1999, and have judged at Crufts and overseas. Though primarily a Gundog/Hound Specialist I maintain a keen interest in all groups and to date has passed assessments across all groups including several Toy Breeds. Helen Geeson (Abydachs) I have been breeding and exhibiting Standard & Mini Longhaired dachshunds for 30+ years, breeding numerous Champions in both sizes. I first awarded CC s in Dachshunds in I now Judge all hound breeds at Open Show level and am on several B & C judging lists. I am on the C list for the BFDB Club and attended the BFDB seminar in Ruth M Francis (Feebrick) I had my first Pointer in 1977 and have shown them on and off since then. I am also interested in the Working side of the breed and was so proud to award CC s for the 1st time in I have also owned and shown a Whippet and have had the opportunity to handle an Afghan on several occasions. Several friends own Dachshunds and I have been able to see puppies develop from the age of 4 weeks in Mini Smooths. I am looking forward to Judging at Rhyl s Open Show.

7 Julie Lindley (Hyerdunscar) I have been involved with Bullmastiffs for over 30 years, I have bred 4 Champions and 3 junior Champions. We have also owned Rottweilers, Great Danes and Dobermanns. Rachel Philo (Salmonmist) I grew up always having several dogs in the house and I have owned pointers for the last 20 years having bred just one litter of which I retained a dog and a bitch - Sh Ch Salmonmist Sahara Sun ShCM. I am on the A3 Pointer Club Judging List. I also co-own a couple of Irish Setters under the Coppershell affix, one of which gained his JW, ShCM, and 1 CC. I currently own in partnership two young whippets purchased from the Layways Kennel who are delighting us with their success. All the dogs I own and coown are handled in the ring by me. I am looking forward to this judging appointment. Laura Jay (Talraz) Laura grew up in a doggy household surrounded by the Bearded Collies bred and exhibited by her parents, and in due course gravitated towards handling in the ring. In 2013 she became a joint owner of the Talraz affix and had her first open show judging appointment soon afterwards. Since then she has judged Beardies on a number of occasions and continues to gain in ring experience Liz Jay (Talraz) The Talraz affix has been established over 30 years and is well-known in Bearded Collies. Liz has now judged her own breed on several occasions at championship show level at home, as well as having been invited to judge in France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Finland. It is always a great honour to be invited to judge the other breeds in the Pastoral Group, and Liz looks forward to an interesting day. Marion McArdle I started showing dogs in 1983 and have won CC's, and RCC's in Boxers, Boston Terriers and Lakeland Terriers.

Dogs in Vehicles on Hot Days Your dog is vulnerable and at risk during hot weather and the Kennel Club offers the following guidance to help guide you through the do s and don ts travelling to and whilst at KC licensed events. When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is on a busy holiday route, and leave earlier to avoid increased time in traffic jams. If your vehicle is not air-conditioned seriously consider whether travelling to the show is a good idea at all. The vehicle should be as fully ventilated as possible, and plenty of stops should be taken, with lots of water available to drink. Ensure your dog is not sitting in full sunlight There should be plenty of free flowing air around the

11 dog. When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle. Keep the dog in the shade take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated. Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog s welfare. WARNING: IF YOUR DOG IS FOUND TO BE AT RISK FORCIBLE ENTRY TO YOUR VEHICLE MAY BE NECESSARY WITHOUT LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED. Anyone whose dog is entered at a Kennel Club licensed event should take all reasonable steps to ensure the needs of their dog(s) are met, and should not put a dog s health and welfare at risk by any action, default, omission or otherwise. Breach of Kennel Club Regulations in this respect may be referred to the General Committee for disciplinary action under Kennel Club Rules and Regulations. Right to Refuse Entries. Exhibitors/Competitors are reminded that show societies have the right under Kennel Club Regulation to refuse any entry. 19. Not for Competition entries will be accepted. Details of each dog so entered must be recorded on the entry form and must be Kennel Club registered 20.No modifications will be made to this schedule except by permission of the General Committee of The Kennel Club, which will be followed by advertisement in the Canine Press wherever possible. 21.The Show will be held under Kennel Club Rules and Show Regulations. Every exhibitor making an entry or entries at this show shall be deemed to have agreed to abide by these Rules and Regulations and it is on this understanding only that entries are received. 22. The Committee of this show cannot be held responsible for products advertised or sold by standholders at the show, and remind exhibitors that such products may not meet the requirements of the Regulations for the Preparation of Dogs for Exhibition. 23.Exhibitors/handlers are responsible for clearing up and removing any loose hair or fouling from dogs in their charge, or any other litter, whether from the car park, the exercise area or from any other part of the venue. 24.Parents/Guardians please note, well behaved children are welcome but those in charge of children will be held fully responsible for their actions and any damage caused within the environs of the show. 25. Owners, handlers, exhibitors or any other person in charge of a dog at a Kennel Club licensed event must ensure at all times that the dog is kept under proper control whilst at the licensed venue including its environs, car parks and approaches. 26.A dog may be disqualified by the General Committee from any award, whether an objection has been lodged or not, if proved amongst other things to have been registered or recorded as having been bred by the scheduled judge. This shall not apply to a Judge appointed in an emergency. 27.The Kennel Club has drawn attention to the potential health and safety implications concerning the use of soft crates at shows as in its view, they do not offer sufficient protection to dogs. Soft crates left unattended at the ringside are a potential hazard particularly when occupied by large breeds, and it has been known for dogs to become distressed and move soft crates along the floor and also escape. Soft crates should only be used when there is sufficient room available and when they can be safely secured. 28.Each exhibitor is responsible for providing their own crate or cage identification and should note that the original exhibit/bench number card, as provided by the show society, must not be used for this purpose.
