Biography

Kaye Finlayson

All Breeds Judge – Specialist Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Judge

As a Show dog judge around 40 years I have enjoyed my experiences within the Dog World.
During my involvement of some 45 years I have exhibited and bred Cavalier King Charles Spaniels over 30 years and Griffon Bruxellois along with at one time exhibiting an American Cocker Spaniel.

I stopped exhibiting when I became an All Breeds Judge for a number of years. Six years ago we purchased a Std Smooth Dachshund which was also shown for a number of years. I have had the pleasure during my travels internationally to judge in all states of Australia, many different countries in the world and extensively throughout New Zealand both All Breeds and Specialty Shows.

Involved over the last 40 years with the following New Zealand organisations
Canterbury Toy Dog Society – Patron & Life Member 
Canterbury Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club – Patron & Life Member
First Secretary, Vice President, President and still actively involved
Canterbury Ladies Kennel Association – Patron & Life Member
(Immediate Past President for 10 years)
Canterbury Kennel Association – Life Member
New Zealand Dog Judges Assn – Past Vice President & Board Member
Christchurch Branch NZ Dog Judges Assn – Current Chairman
Canterbury Toy Dog Society – Current President

On a personal note I work with Harcourt’s Real Estate as a Licensed Real Estate Agent. I feel working in Real Estate is similar to an involvement in the dog world where you meet and enjoy the company of lots of different folk from different places. In the dog world you also get the pleasure of judging and appreciating their wonderful animals.
