From Trudy:
Thank you so much for asking me to judge your Sanction Match!
My husband and I live on 11 acres 45mins NW of Edmonton, Alberta with our collies, whippets, horses, peacocks and chickens.
Iโve been teaching handling classes for 27 years now and Iโm also an all-breed professional handler. I have piloted client dogs to Best in Shows, Best Puppy in Shows, many group placements and have won Regional and National Specialties with them. I have bred collies (rough and smooth) under the Tamaron prefix for 37 years and whippets under the Counterpoint prefix for 17years.
My collies and whippets have both been very successful in the show ring. My collies have won the Canadian National (both a rough and a smooth) and I have won 2 Best in Shows and over 65 group wins and placements on my heart dog, smooth collie Kennedy.
Counterpoint Whippets have had amazing success but the most noteworthy was my solid red brindle bitch Jill who amassed 13 all-breed Best in Show wins, 100โs of groups wins and placements and won the National twice!
I am very excited and honored to be judging your beautiful dogs.
