JON COLE, TENNESSEE, USA
I am a second-generation dog person who grew up in the world of Sporting, Working, Terrier and Hound
breeds as a youngster. As I approached University age, I began breeding and showing Bull Terriers (under
the Kennel Name Bejobos) in the 60’sand 70’s. Our breeding program was quite successful allowing us to
breed and finish a number of Champions winning Groups and BIS’s. A few years later, we became
interested in Bedlingtons. As with the Bull Terriers, the Bedlingtons proved very successful for my wife and I
in the show ring. As time passed other breeds entered our lives—West Highland White Terriers, Smooth
Fox Terriers, Shih Tzu, Greyhound, Schipperkes and French Bulldogs. Currently I have a Miniature Bull
Terrier.
I began judging Terriers in 1971. I have been granted approval, in the United States, for All Breeds. I now
judge extensively throughout the year, and do not show or breed dogs any more. My judging has taken me
to all parts of the United States, as well as, Canada, Mexico, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Africa,
the Far East, Russia and Europe.
Judging has given me the opportunity to meet wonderful people all over the world, and see the types of dogs
they breed and show.
BILL DEVILLENEUVE, NY, USA
I began as a breeder-owner-handler in the early 1970's with my Scottish Terriers. I have whelped 20+
litters and shown 20+ Scotties to their AKC championships. I was the top Scottie owner-handler in the
US with two different dogs in the 80's and 90's. In 2006 I owned the #1 Scottie bitch (#2 overall), a multi
group, multi BIS, and multi BISS winner; CH. Wychwood Wyndola of Duff-De; shown by Bergit Kabel. I
have also bred and owned several other multi group and BISS winners as well as the top producing
Scottie brood bitch 20 years ago.
Although my judging schedule has forced me to cut back on breeding and limited my available time for
showing, I am staying somewhat active and have produced two litters in the last 5 years. Two boys in
the first litter were sold and owner handled to their AKC championships, and two girls from the recent
litter 2 ½ years ago have also finished their championships. In fact, I kept one of the girls and returned
to the show ring as an exhibitor for the first time in almost 7 years and finished "Hannah" myself. It was
exciting and challenging to show once again and be in the ring on the other side of the lead. I have just
bred my girl and hope to have a litter of puppies on the ground in early May.
With regard to judging, I was first approved for Scottish Terriers in 1983 and completed approval for the
Terrier Group in 1991. Since then, I have been approved to judge the Toy Group and then completed
approval for the Working Group in 2010. More recently, I have been approved for 8 provisional breeds,
Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Beagles, Whippets, Scottish Deerhounds, Pharaoh Hounds, PBGVs, Bulldogs,
and Lowchen. I have judged a Scottish Terrier specialty in Scotland and the national specialty in the
US along with many regional specialties in the US and Canada. My judging travels have also taken me
to Sweden, Mexico, Dominican Republic, almost every province in Canada, and most of the states
across the US.
I truly enjoy judging and have fun doing it. I also try to make it an enjoyable experience for the
exhibitors, their dogs, and the spectators too.

ROBERT HUTTON, KENTUCKY, USA
Bob's passion for the Fancy began in 1956 when his neighbors began taking him to dog shows. His first dog,
a Bedlington Terrier, was winners dog at the old Morris and Essex Kennel Club show almost sixty years ago.
The puppy was nine months old and the entry was eighty! What a wonderful start to a life time adventure. As
time went on through the teen years Bob finished many of his own dogs and those of friends, as well. As a
young adult he handled professionally and enjoyed many successes with mainly Sight Hounds, Terriers,
Toys, and Non-Sporting breeds. In 1968 he became quite taken with Dandie Dinmonts when he met Nancy
Mann of the very well know Woodbourne Kennel.
Over time he also operated a large boarding kennel and owned and operated two grooming shops. Being a
member of The Bedlington Terrier Club of America since 1959 he has had many positions within the club,
including President, Director, and Show Chairman. He is also a life member of The Louisville Kennel Club
and a director of The Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club of America.
As a judge he travels extensively throughout North America and has visited at least ten foreign countries. He
is especially pleased with having judged Specialty Shows in nearly forty different breeds, many of the breeds
several times, and considers this the best compliment one could receive.
DEIRDRE MCKINNON, PEI, CANADA
Deirdre started looking for a dog in 1972/73. She found a Canadian Kennel Club breeder of registered
Basset Hounds in her area. The breeder of her Basset suggested that she might be interested in dog shows
since his dogs were CKC champions. She took his advice and attended a show. She was intrigued and
purchased her first Basset Hound in 1973 and starting showing dogs in 1974. From that point, she was
hooked on the breed and dog shows. Her first litter was born in 1977. This litter produced American and
Canadian champions; including 2 females that were multi specialty winners in the USA.
She continues to breed and show Basset Hounds under the Corkery prefix. She has a small kennel and
continues to produce quality Bassets as both show and companion pets. She continues to educate the
public on the breed and responsible dog ownership. Also, her Basset Hounds are shown both in Canada
and the USA with group wins in both countries. Her Bassets continue to win at specialties, Best in Show and
Best Puppy in Show.
Other breeds have been added to her kennel: Labrador Retrievers, Doberman Pinscher and a Skye Terrier.
However, it is the Basset Hound that has remained a constant in her kennel.
She is a life member of the Canadian Kennel Club and Basset Hound Club of Canada. Also, she is a
member of the Basset Hound Club of America. She started judging at conformation shows in 1993 with her
beloved hounds. She has judged Basset specialities in both Canada and USA. She enjoys judging and
finding a great dog!!!!
CONNIE GERSTNER MILLER, MICHIGAN, USA
Connie Gerstner Miller’s fifty years in the sport of dogs began with a German Shepherd she trained the
county 4-H program, which was also the first year they offered the program in her area. A few years later,
Connie began Malagold Kennels in DeForest, Wisconsin, in 1962, with a breeding program that
encompassed both the sporting breed of the Golden Retriever and the spirited working breed of the Alaskan
Malamute - hence the formation of the Malagold moniker!
Eventually, concentration on the breeding of quality Golden Retrievers became the primary drive for Connie
as she truly felt that she could only do justice to one breed. She has since continued to focus her energies
on the Golden Retriever through her current tenure at Malagold, which is home to multiple Best in Show and
Best in Specialty Show winners, with highlights that include the winning of the Sporting Group at the AKC
Centennial Dog Show (with BIS, BISS CH. Libra Malagold Coriander SDHF, OS), Best of Breed wins at the
prestigious Westminster Kennel Club, and three times winning Best of Breed honors at the Golden Retriever
Club of America National Specialty. Connie has worked hard to build Malagold into a highly respected line of
Golden Retrievers, earning her the honor of being one of five breeders nominated by “Dogs In Review” for
the Breeder of the Year for 2015—a recognition for which she is so very proud.
In the early 1970's, Connie was approved as a licensed All-Breed Professional Handler. This new venture,
in conjunction with her successful grooming and boarding business, allowed her to broaden her participation
within the dog show world. All of this led to Connie’s current interest as a licensed AKC judge for the entire
Sporting Group and the Best in Show category. Connie had the privilege of judging the Regular Dog
Classes at the 2002 Golden Retriever Club of America National Specialty show, and more recently judging at
the National Specialty in Canada—high honors and proud moments in a career dedicated to the Golden
Retriever.
Connie has been involved in the training and education aspect within the dog show world from the very
beginning. Connie is active in presenting Breed Education Seminars and Workshops focusing on the
Golden Retriever, and has worked tirelessly as an advocate for this beautiful breed.
DR. STEVEN D. HERMAN, FLORIDA, USA
The sign in my office reads "Full Time Dog Man-Part Time Attorney". I started in dogs in 1980, just a couple
of years after beginning my practice. Picking my first German Shorthaired Pointer puppy, at ten weeks of
age, I did a pretty good job. Rommel was a top ten dog, along with being my versatile dog—doing
obedience and NAVHDA. I have remained active and successful in this breed. My bitch was Best of Breed
at Westminster in 2010 and she went on to be the top producing dam for 2011. Her son garnered my first
All Breed Best In Show with a German Shorthaired Pointer, in 2013. He was top producing sire for 2013 and
2014.
With my first Wife, I exhibited Afghan Hounds for many years. Then, I did some showing and breeding of
English Cocker Spaniels and Golden Retrievers. However, my next big venture was with Pointers. Since
1990, I have been involved with this breed. Owning and breeding many Group and Best In Show winners.
Most have had their hunting titles, too. One Best In Show bitch also was the top Field Trial puppy, a
previous year.
Acquiring a German Wirehaired Pointer bitch in 1995, I campaigned her to the top ten. A bitch from her litter
was shown by me to the top ten, three years in a row. During this time, I also owned a Miniature Wirehaired
Dachshund.
My experience with the three Pointer breeds led me to present a comparison seminar about them. I now
judge the entire Sporting Group, Best In Show and a number of Hounds. I have officiated at the German
Shorthaired and Wirehaired Pointer, Pointer Club of Canada and Golden Retriever Nationals. My Wife and I
live with, show and hunt a GSP in Wesley Chapel, Florida. I co-own a number of other GSPs, that allow me
to remain active in conformation, breeding, hunt tests and field trials.
We collect dog art and travel to Cruft’s regularly. I have judged in Colombia, Canada and Sweden.

JAMES MOSES, MISSOURI, USA
James Anthony Moses was born in 1945 and has been a lifelong dog person. Although his
mother was a Miniature Poodle fancier, Jim's first dog was a German Shepherd, given to him
by his father for his ninth birthday.
Jim finished his first champion at the age of 13 and by 19 was number one all breeds in
Canada. Jim has handled dogs to over 1000 BIS. His more notable wins include the AKC
Centennial show and the Westminster Kennel Club, both with Jane Firestone's Manhattan.
Jim has handled four dogs in the prestigious "100 Club" including the number one male and
female of all time, Ch Covy Tucker Hill's Manhattan (#1 male, #4 overall, 201 BIS) and Ch
Altana's Mystique, #1 exhibit, all breeds, with 275 BIS and 30 BISS. Ch Kismet's Sight for Sore
Eyes, "Dallas," and Ch Kaleef's Genuine Risk are the other dogs who attained 100 BIS.

prefix; overall, he has won this award 17 times. He has received numerous awards over the
years and was inducted into the Dog Show Hall of Fame in 1999.
Jim's handling expertise has by no means been limited to German Shepherds. His National
Specialty winners include Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Cavalier King Charles
Spaniels, and Chinese Cresteds. He has also exhibited the number one Australian Shepherd of
all time, and the number one Border Collie of all time. He has been BIS with a variety of breeds
in addition to many German Shepherds; Irish Wolfhounds, a Great Dane, Samoyeds, Briards,
a Rhodesian Ridgeback, several Aussies, Border Collies, a Belgian Sheepdog, a Brittany,
Miniature Poodles and Afghans, to name a few. Last year he campaigned a top winning

Jim's love of dogs and the sport has been the focus of his adult life, and he is always available
to his peers as a source of advice and encouragement. He is also an avid sportsman and
outdoorsman, and is enjoying balancing breeding, judging and retirement.
CHRIS NEILSON, ONTARIO
I acquired my first Bulldog in 1972 from Albert Farrell of Nugget Kennels. After several years I got the show
bug and decided to be more selective in my selections in search of a 'show bulldog' My first 'show' bulldog
was 'Reggie' from Mr Elmer Bredt and we finished him #1 in Canada as well as getting he Am/Cdn
Championships. Following this success we bred Rodney around 2000 and finished #1 years in a row.
Following his footsteps and successful line breeding we had 'Driver' and ' Bubba' also finishing #1. After this I
concentrated more on my judging as we felt we had done more than enough in the show ring.
JO ANN PAVEY, ONTARIO
Jo Ann has been involved in breeding and/or exhibiting Shetland Sheepdogs and other breeds, since 1970.
Her interest began with obedience. She later became a CKC Licensed All Classes obedience judge and
judged obedience trials for 25 years. She has bred Shelties under the Calabar and Whitegates prefixes,
enjoying many successes with them, including several Best in Show winners and Best in Specialty show
winners.
No longer breeding, and only occasionally exhibiting, Jo Ann decided it was the right time to pursue her
conformation judges license and is now licensed for all of the Herding Group and on permit for the top half of
the Sporting Group.
WILLIAM SHELTON, CALIFORNIA, USA
Mr. Shelton’s passion for all animals, particularly canines, and the sport of purebred dogs has extended
over his life time. Managing a successful professional handling career spanning decades, his passion
for the Coventry Pembroke Welsh Corgi is conspicuous by this family’s phenomenal success in our
sport today, and with being designated breeder of the year in 2012.
Evolving into a multiple group judge; Bill has judged around the world. He realizes his greatest
satisfaction is sorting through a specialty entry, and officiating at distinctive events like this one.
It will come as no surprise that Bill is an advocate for responsible breeders, their advanced education
and the autonomy for breeders to continue as the lifeblood of our sport. He recognizes the importance
and works at enlightening legislators and the general public to the benefits of owning a purebred dog
acquired from a responsible breeder. Bill has written as a columnist, lectured for the AKC at events
across this country expediting the success of both breeders and judges alike.
DR. JAMES SILLERS, MICHIGAN, USA
It is great honor to be judging your show. I am a veterinarian and have bred Borzoi since 1970 and have
had Best in Show winners, National Specialty winners and have judged National Specialties in many
countries including Russia.
Many thoughts come to mind as I write this. Structural soundness takes several generations to achieve, but
one can go to a rescue and find a mixed breed dog that is structurally sound. Type can be bred into a line in
one generation. Under certain judges, one can win only excelling in "Type" or "Structural Soundness". But,
all great dogs must have both. Therefore, for me, I describe TYPE as Style plus Structural Soundness.
Looking back at my breeding program, I realize I made many mistakes. It is always easier to look back. But,
when I examined what worked for me, I find it interesting, and this concept is not new to the world of
genetics. I tried to breed structurally sound individuals and then outcrossed for type. Once the resulting
offspring were added back into the bloodline of my kennel, there was always a jump forward in quality.
Lauralei, bred back into my line, produced three daughters that ranked number one in three different
countries in the same year. One daughter, "Nara", when bred back into my line, produced another top
winner, Virago. (i.e. one outcross and three generations of bringing the outcross back into my line). When
Virago was outcrossed, he produced several offspring that I would say were even better than himself.
I had the same results earlier, when I crossed a linebred "Dana Dan" bitch to Lanel's Lobachevski to produce
Damon. I find it interesting that Damon's outcrosses were better in quality than when he was linebred back
into my line. Genetics are interesting and once you think you know what you are doing, she proves you are
not as smart as you thought you were. However, Damon, crossed back into my line, produced Seabury's
Love Life Itself. Looking back on this hobby, the wins with "Love" were my most memorable.
FRANK WASHABAUGH, NEW JERSEY, USA
I have owned and bred German Shorthaired Pointers for 40 years. Also I've owned, shown, and bred a
litter of Wire Fox Terriers in the last 15 years. I'm a chemical engineer by training and now happily
retired.
My wife and I have finished over 40 German Shorthairs over the years. I judge all Sporting, Terrier, and
Toy breeds as well as obedience classes. I've judged a number of Shorthaired Specialties including
Intersex and Bitches at the 1994 AKC Nationals in Denver.
We live in Northern Wisconsin in the summertime and in rural New Jersey the rest of the year.
I'm looking forward to judging at your 2016 shows!
OBEDIENCE JUDGES

ISABELLA HUTTON, ONTARIO
I purchased my first dog, a happy tri sheltie named Laddie, in March 1988.1 did this after having two major
back surgeries and realizing that I would not be able to return to work. Laddie opened up a whole new life for
me. I went on to trial him to his utility title in Canada, Bermuda and the States. I also campaigned him in
1991 to the #10 obedience dog in Canada.
I presently own two shelties, a two year sable, and a nine year old bi-black. My blue boy that I lost in October
2008 had obedience titles in Canada, Bermuda and the States, as well as his conformation championship.
My biggest thrill was in October 2006 when my bi-black earned his Grand Master obedience trial
championship and also placed #2 All Breed for 2006 and again with very few entries in 2007 was #4 All
Breed.
I met Debbie Desjardine in 1989. We became good friends and travelling companions. Our obedience trials
took us to Canada, the States and Bermuda, and I have been teaching at campaign level since that time.
I received my judging license in May 1997 and had the honour of being awarded the 2001 Pedigree Pal
Obedience Judge of the Year
SHARLENE MANDERSON, ONTARIO
My first obedience dog was a St Bernard whom I trained in 1973 while living in Calgary. I put him through a
couple of obedience courses taught at the local high school and then naively entered several trials in Calgary
and Edmonton. We actually got our C.D. with scores in the mid "90’s"! At this point I have trained five
Goldens, each with very different personalities and challenges! Contrary to rumor, Goldens are not born fully
trained! Now that I am retired from teaching Special Education, I have more time for training my dogs! We
have earned OTCh’s in Obedience, Rally Excellent titles, CKC Agility titles, an ATChC in AAC Agility, as well
as AKC Obedience and Rally titles. To continue challenging myself as a trainer, I have just added a male
Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppy to my pack! We will have so much fun!!
As a competitor and a judge, I would like to be known as someone who plays by the rules and is passionate
about what she is doing. When judging, I try to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome in my ring.
Whether the high in trial team or the nervous first time competitor, everyone deserves to be treated with
respect!
