This weekend marked the completion of my final lower-level IKC judging appointment — a significant step in my journey as a dog show judge.

I had the honour of judging Group 6, Group 10, Bred by Exhibitor, and Best Champion — a truly rewarding day with quality dogs across all classes. Each appointment has been an opportunity to grow, refine my eye, and contribute meaningfully to our sport.

Reaching this point is the result of years of dedication, study, and passion for excellence in the ring. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved and excited to move forward into the next level of judging appointments.

Thank you to the Cocker Spaniel Club of Ireland All Breed Open Show and Robert Kelly for the invitation and for providing a wonderful setting to mark this professional milestone.

Onward and upwards…

Green Stars next !!
