Ken’s CV

Ken is the President of Midland & West of England GDC and a Vice-Chairman of National Working & Pastoral Breeds DS. Passed by The Kennel Club to award Challenge Certificates in Great Danes and on the Judging A3-list of The Estrela Mountain Dog Club. Available for lectures on Great Danes, and lectures on judging, stewarding, show training and KC regulations.
 

I judged the Estrela Mountain Dog Club show in 2002 and judged them again at Bournemouth CS in 2003, South Wales Kennel Association in 2005, Paignton in 2007 and WELKS in 2009.
Future judging appointments include St Mellons in August in 2010 and in Australia at The Great Dane Club of Victoria Inc’s 65^th Anniversary Championship Show in 2011..
 

I am one of the Club's representatives on the Dane of the Year Committee and on the Great Dane Breed Council.

I am also Vice-President of Stratford on Avon CS, having been show manager from 1984 to 1990 and chairman from 1989 to 2000. I was previously on the committee of the City of Birmingham Canine Association and Alcester Dog Training Club, where I was principle trainer for several years.

I started running and lecturing on the courses for novice stewards in 1990 and the judge’s course in 1991. This has now changed to a two-day judging course to cover all KC requirements to prepare novice judges for their early judging career and for the official KC seminars.

In 1994 I gave a lecture on Great Danes to the student judges studying for the Working Group (FCI Group 2) certificate of the South Australian Canine Association.
In 1999 I lectured on Danes to about 80 non-specialist judges at the National Working Breeds judging seminar.

Began lecturing at other breed club seminars when the KC laid down its directive on training. So far I have spoken at seminars held by the Australian Shepherd Club, South Wales Pekingese, Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of South Wales, Redditch CS, South Western Afghan Hound Club, Joint Great Dane Clubs’ Training Day and the Welsh Doberman Club.
I was show manager for the Midland & West of England GDC Colour Format Open Show for several years up to 1999.
