2 JUDGES PROFILE Mr Richard Grimmett (Tafuta) I have lived with dogs and been associated with showing most of my life. We had our first family pet in 1983 a working Golden Retriever called Honey. We mated Honey to a show dog and kept a puppy, a dog called Bracken deciding to show him. He gave me my first showing experiences in the Junior Handling classes. In 1987 Sasha, the family's first pure show dog joined us and she gave us a dog and a bitch, Tanya and Sammy. Tanya was the first dog that I showed in breed classes as well as training her to work to the gun, unfortunately she died at the age of 5 due to a reaction to an anaesthetic. This was very upsetting for me and didn't have a dog of my own again for some time. In the intervening years I still trained my parents dogs and started occasionally showing my partners Dalmatians. In 2007 Poppy joined our family, she has in many ways been my dog in a million, gaining multiple CCs and also working to the gun with some success and gaining her S.G.W.C. making her a full Champion. In addition to Poppy, I have also shown, Milli Poppy's sister and Flash Milli's son. At present I also have a young puppy.

When travelling to a show please take a moment to consider whether the route to the show is

10 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 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.
