Your Specialty Conformation Judge
-
~ David M. Paterson ~
I have
been breeding, showing and loving Saint Bernards, the gentle giants,
since 1967. Four of my males had the distinction of being Top Show Dogs,
all of them owner handled:
Am. & Cdn Ch.
Alndon's Morrison P 2nd.
Am. & Cdn
Ch. Jeloo's Lucifer's Lightening
Am. & Cdn
Ch. Nerthus Charlemagne TT
Am. & Cdn
Ch. San Marco's Royal Frost TT
I have been an active member of the Saint Bernard Club of Ontario since
1967, serving as Show Chairman, President, Vice President and
Treasurer.
I became involved with Bernese Mountain Dogs in 1981. Our kennel
"San Marco", proudly owned Canada's first Bernese Champion
after the breed gained CKC recognition in 1975, "Am. & Cdn. Ch.
San Marco's Northern Lance". Lance made it possible for us to
produce three distinguished Top Show dogs that were, once again, all
owner handled:
Am. & Cdn. Ch. San Marco's Mountain Bear
Am. & Cdn. Ch. San Marco's No Question TT
Ch. San Marco's Sweet as Sugar
In April of 1989, I began my career as a Conformation Judge. I find
judging as challenging and exciting as all the other aspects of the Dog
World.
Your
Sweepstakes Judge

Eve Menegoz ~
I moved
to Montreal, Canada in 1967 from my native Switzerland.
I acquired my first Bernese 30 years ago, "Jakob v Huebelihof".
Since then I have been in Conformation, Obedience and Tracking. I have
bred a few litters, and it has become my passion. I was instrumental in
getting the breed registered in Canada and I was also present when the
Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Canada was first established.
A few firsts are: "Kobi", Champion and Companion Dog, "Ursli",
Obedience Trial Champion and "Sugus", Tracking Dog Excellent.
I have shown at specialties in Holland, Switzerland, USA and Canada and
received some memorable wins.
I was invited to judge Sweepstakes at two US National Specialties and
one US Regional Specialty and three All Breed Sweepstakes. I am looking
forward to my assignment with the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of Ontario.
Your
Sieger Show Judge

~ Rosemary Tierney ~
I was born and educated in London,
England. It was while accompanying my
husband on a four-year tour in Copenhagen, Denmark that I met and fell
in love with the Bernese Mountain Dog. I considers myself fortunate to
have had the opportunity to “apprentice” under Ina Olsen of Tertzo Kennel,
one of the top breeders in her homeland. I purchased my first Berner in
1986, my second in 1987, and the following year returned to Canada. In
1989, Ina loaned me a Danish Top Producing Stud dog to start my program.
I enjoy working with this breed and the many dedicated people involved
in it. I am committed to producing a dog that can meet the demand of today’s
society while maintaining the physical ability to work in his traditional
role. I actively show in conformation and participate in obedience, and
have recently introduced two of my dogs to draftwork. I have had the
benefit of showing in Canada and the United States and under FCI
regulations. I have attended two World Shows, in Copenhagen and Berne,
Switzerland. I am member of the BMDCC, BMDCO, CKC and Ottawa Kennel
Club, and Bytown Dog Obedience Club.
Your Obedience Judge
~ Isabella G. Hutton ~
I
purchased my first dog, a happy tri-colored sheltie named “Laddie”, in
March of 1988. I did this after having two major back surgeries and
realizing that I would not be able to return to work.
Laddie opened up a whole new life for me. I went on to trial him to
the Utility Title in Canada, Bermuda and the States. I also campaigned
him in 1991 to the #10 Obedience dog in Canada.
I now own another shelties in addition to Laddie, and they have also
been shown in obedience in Canada, Bermuda and the States. My youngest
dog also has his Conformation championship
I received my Judging license in may of 1997, and I recently had the
honour of
Receiving the "2001 Pedigree Pal Obedience
Judge of the year".
Any free time I have, I enjoy reading, gardening and traveling with
my husband.
