Biography
Dogs NZ 067273 AKC judges no: 94871 FCI judge no: NZ66
My interest in show dogs began in 1986 when my husband persuaded me to get a pedigree Bull Terrier. He was not the best show dog, but our association with the Bull Terrier Club and the show world in general encouraged us to take up the hobby seriously. We registered Boromir Kennels in 1987, bred our first litter of Bull Terriers in 1989 and our first litter of Bull Terrier (Miniatures) in 2012.
The follow-on interest in judging began in the early 1990s when I attended some Waikato Branch judges meetings, but it was not until 2003 that I became involved in the judges training system in earnest – again with the Waikato Branch. I passed the Terrier group in 2010.
I am approved by the Bull Terrier Club of America, the National Bull Terrier Council of Australia and the NZ ROM clubs to award ‘recognition of merit’ points in the breed. I have been lucky to judge my breeds in NZ, Australia, USA, Sweden, Poland, Austria and Holland.
Administration-wise the North Island Bull Terrier Club has been my focus and I have served at all levels since 1990, with just a few years off here and there. The club honoured me with a life membership in 2007.
We consider ourselves fortunate that our involvement in breeding dogs has enabled us to work with breeders around the world and in New Zealand to improve our stock. We continue to get involved with partnerships and swaps both locally and internationally, as we believe this is the best way to add to our limited gene pool, and has been a successful approach so far.
To date, over 50 Boromir Bull Terriers have achieved their NZ championship titles, plus a further 11 imported dogs and one bought locally. Including the minis, they have won 60 best in shows and over 50 reserve best in shows at Bull Terrier club specialties. In 2012 we bred our first litter of Bull Terrier (Miniature)s, the first of which gained her championship title in 2013.
Our most successful dog to date is Am/Can/Aust/NZ/Mex/Int Ch Boromir Quicksilver ROM, who went to live in America at the end of 2005. He won best in show at 4 specialties in NZ, plus one in Australia (and two RIS), one All breeds champ show and a Terrier club champ show, as well as attaining his ‘Recognition of Merit’ in three countries.
