Having been brought up with dogs all his life, along with my wife, Sue, I first started exhibiting my own dogs (Rottweilers) in the UK over 30 years ago under the "Hardrada" prefix, later I successfully showed Swedish Vallhunds and St Bernards. Sue and I have produced champions and Crufts CC winners in both breeds, some of our top winners were BIS Ch Hardrada Let It Be Me JW, BIS UK & Irish/ Int Ch Hardrada Double Dutch JW and, Ch Svedala Tomte Pelle Top SV.
In 2002 we moved to New Zealand, I have served on a number of show committees over the years, for the last 9 years I have served on the Tauranga Kennel Assn (Championship show committee) and had the honor of being President of the Bay Of Plenty Judges Asso.
My wife and I have produced over 30 champions, with champions in 7 countries, which include many multi best in show winners, at both General and Breed speciality shows, Hardrada breeding can be found in many countries throughout the world. In 2012 the Crufts Best Of Breed Winner was also from our lines.
I have been privilaged to judge the following breeds at breed speciality shows, Alaskan Malamutes, Bullmastiffs, Dobermanns,Dogue de Bordeaux, Newfoundlands, Rottweiler's and St Bernards.
Judging since 1991, I have judged in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, a breed specialist in Rottweiler's and Swedish vallhunds, I also award CC's in the Utility group, In 2013 I passed my theory exam for the Non Sporting group with 91%.
