Hi you all,
The judge at Blackpool is a Dr Annukka Paloheimo from Finland. Has he judged Brits here in the UK before and if so where and when?

I have a feeling that she judges Cavaliers and also owns them.....may well be wrong though. She also judges terriers and ridgebacks.

As for Brittanys I don't remember her judging Brittanys before so you pays your money and takes your chances.

Look her up on google and it will give you more information.

Many thanks and thanks for the web site very good. When I saw her photo I remembered her but I had a blank moment (I know I am getting old) I was hoping that she had judged us before and that I didn't have to go to Blackpool as it is such a long way!

Might not go anyway, the more I think of the drive the more I want to stay at home.

I know the feeling, it usually comes over you at some ungodly hour of the morning Rolling Eyes

Yes I agree in fact since I have been writting this I have decided not to go just too far and I would be going on my own. I would have loved a try at the group judge IF I had of got BOB.
Still always another another show (closer to home) Ha Ha.

Notice there's no FCI group 7 in her list of qualifications

mind you with that number of dogs to her name I suspect she could make a pretty good interpretation of a breed standard.

Perhaps the organisers don't know that Brittanys aren't spaniels and therefore not Group 8??

Meriel Hathaway, a lady I have great respect for. She is one of the best judges I know. And did you know she has never been given a group or BIS at Crufts and now she is to old.
