Mr. Jon Cole #379

Mr. Robert Frost #5376
Dr. Vandra Huber #6857 Q&A
- When did you begin your “life” in dogs?
- I always wanted a dog but could not have one as a child. My life with dogs began when I graduated college and got Scooter, a companion Scottie. My life in dogs, began in 1982 with the purchase of my foundation bitch Maggie McMuffin V. Winning with her got me hook. Winning more with her children, turned me into a long-term conformation fancier.
- What was your original breed or activity in the sport?
- My original breed was Scottish Terriers. My mother said I wanted one from the time I was four years old. But I didn’t get a conformationally sound one until 1982.
- What other breed(s) have you bred and shown?
- I also have shown & bred border terriers, smooth fox terriers and wire dachshund. I have shown Bearded Collies, Cairn Terriers, standard poodle, and an affenpinscher.
- What would you say is/are the most exciting and/or fulfilling experience(s) you have had in your ‘dog’ career?
- I have been blessed by having great people help me reach my goals in dogs. A highlight has been going BIS with my Scottish Terriers at the four largest shows in the world, Westminster, Crufts in England, The EuroAsia show and Benelux World Show with Scottish Terriers I have owned and bred. The most fulfilling event for me, was personally showing my Scottish Terrier BIS BISS McVan’s Big Bopper in the group at Montgomery County last year.
Mrs. Christie Martinez #22596
Mr. George Milutinovich #15748
Mrs. Carol Kniebusch Noe #7040 Q&A
- When did you begin your “life” in dogs?
- I had a pet Pekingese while growing up and then began breeding and showing around 1972. It’s the only breed I’ve bred or shown. At the moment I’m a retired Professor of Music from James Madison University—-a former professional flutist with the Baltimore Symphony. I’ve had many exciting experiences with my dogs and judging as I have judged in England, Scotland, France, Korea and most recently, China. I love the dogs and always enjoy being with people who feel the same about the sport.
Dr. Jose Luis Payro #3543
Mr. Del Richards #16761 Q&A
- When did you begin your “life” in dogs?
- In 1965 we go our first Pug and two years later got or first Borzoi, showing both breeds in conformation and obedience [put a CH UD on our first Borzoi]. With our Borzoi we open field coursed, and help start lure coursing.
- What was your original breed or activity in the sport?
- When I was 10, I got my first dog "Chips" a mixed spaniel type dog. Then I got a smooth coated dachshund.
- What other breed(s) have you bred and shown?
- Have owned Belgian Sheepdogs, Labrador Retrievers, Dachshunds, Whippets, Border Terriers, Pembroke Welsh Corgi and Papillion.
- What would you say is/are the most exciting and/or fulfilling experience(s) you have had in your ‘dog’ career?
- Putting the first CH, UD on a male Borzoi in history of the breed. And as a judge, in 2006 I got to judge more than 100 Pugs at the Northern California Pug Club Specialty show.
Mr. Johnny R Shoemaker #19267 Q&A
- When did you begin your “life” in dogs?
- 1966
- What was your original breed or activity in the sport?
- Poodles
- What other breed(s) have you bred and shown?
- None, only Poodles
- What would you say is/are the most exciting and/or fulfilling experience(s) you have had in your ‘dog’ career?
- I think each time is an exciting and fulfilling experience in my "dog" career. I have judged our Poodle National twice and will be judging Juniors this year. I enjoy mentoring for the Pee Wee event as it is the most fun I have at a dogshow. I enjoy the dogs and the exhibitors who take the time for me to go over their dogs and evaluate them to the best of my ability. Without the breeders and exhibitors there would not be a dogshow.
Mrs. Patricia Ulloa #5721
Mr. R.C. Williams #93917
Mrs. Carolyn S Wray #2817 Q&A
- When did you begin your “life” in dogs?
- I was fortunate to grow up in a family that showed dogs and helped my Mother with her Keeshonden and later, Bichons, Italian Greyhounds and Smooth Fox Terriers. I bought my first Kees in 1966 and began a life long passoin for training and showing dogs.
- What was your original breed or activity in the sport?
- Keeshond
- What other breed(s) have you bred and shown?
- Shelties and Poodles...both Toys and Minis. Border Collie. Pekingese (and yes I showed him in obedience). He earned a CDX!!
- What would you say is/are the most exciting and/or fulfilling experience(s) you have had in your ‘dog’ career?
- As an exhibitor, every Utility Dog title (UD) is precious. As a judge, I especially enjoy having junior handlers walk in my ring. Our juniors hold the key to the future of our sport.
