I am on the UK Pug Dog Club Committee and judging sub- committee and I mentor up and coming judges.
I moved into Bulldogs in the 1989, the Danjac Affix had expired so my husband and I chose the affix Bagibeli which I began to regret when it appeared below my name when judging!
To date I have bred 3 Champions and Ch Bagibeli Queen of Hearts was top winning bitch in 2017.
I awarded my first set of CCs in Bulldogs in 2010 and have now given 6 sets of CCs.
I am on the Judging & PR sub-committees of the Bulldog Breed Council and teach on seminars.
Pugs remain my first breed and I enjoy judging them enormously, the health of all brachycephalic breeds have come under scrutiny recently in all countries but I firmly believe health of the breed has improved and I commend all the great breeders all over the world who have worked so tirelessly to improve the breed.
Thank you for inviting me for this prestigious appointment and I look forward to meeting all you all in October.
