I first got involved with pedigree cats & showing in 1979, after Mum had purchased a mismarked Birman, and helped with his show career, he was to become the first of many that followed.
Getting her prefix in 1975, I helped out a little in the earlier years of the breeding until I left home, but had got taste of having this magnetic cat around me.

After getting married & having a family of my own, and, of course, always having a Birman in the house, I started once again getting involved in going along to shows with the folks & was once again bitten by that showing & breeding bug, what is it that makes it seem like you never quite have enough!!

They asked me to join the prefix in 2001 which of course I jumped at, it was shortly after this while watching the judging at the Sacred Temple Show that I decided that this was something I would like to have a go at, and here we are, I achieved the dream by becoming a Longhair Judge.

I am very proud of being involved with such a beautiful breed and really enjoying the judging side of shows, handling the cats and meeting the wonderful owners.

In 1985 I was accepted into the NZCF Inc Longhair Judges School.
I am now a Longhair Tutor Judge and have the pleasure of being able to judge at shows overseas.

I had always been a distant admirer of the beautiful Shorthair cats and decided that I would like to Judge them, in 1995 I was accepted into the Shorthair Judges School and am now a fully qualified All Breeds Judge.
