Our Judges CVs for the October Shows

Mrs Katherine Whiteley - John Edwards Memorial Chanpionship Show

I am honoured to have been invited by the Poodle Club of New South Wales to judge your beautiful poodles, and I am especially privileged to officiate at the 2026 John Edwards Memorial Championship Show.

I have been involved with pure bred dogs for most of my life, having received my first dog, a black Labrador, at four years of age. Growing up, I attended the annual Sunbury Canine Club All Breeds Championship Shows, and while still in primary school I met my first show poodle, a black miniature exhibited by the late All Breeds judge, Mrs Ann Watt.

I began exhibiting dogs in 1992 with my first Standard Poodle, a black male from Savarin Poodles in New South Wales. Since then, I have bred and titled multiple champions, including four Standard Poodles imported from the USA, Slovenia, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. I have also been fortunate to have the support of many outstanding poodle breeders in Australia, which has helped me establish the Aglaia prefix and produce numerous all breeds and specialty winners. I recently bred my first toy poodle litter.

The most successful poodle I have bred is the standard poodle, Ch Aglaia More Than A Game, who won Best in Show at the 2008 Poodle Club of Victoria Championship Show under Mrs Doris Cozart (USA) and was a consistent Best of Breed winner under Australian and international poodle specialist judges.

I am a past President of the Poodle Club of Victoria, licenced to judge the Non-Sporting, Gundog, Hound and Terrier Groups at championship shows and toy group at open shows.

Ms Pam Brown ( QLD) Poodle Club NSW Championship Show

I began showing Great Danes in the mid 1970s and purchased my first Standard Poodle in 1984. She went on to win many BIS awards and was Puppy in Show at the Adelaide Royal Show. I have continued to show poodles, and now have Miniature and Toys. My Miniatures under the Funtosy prefix have won several specialty BIS and RUBIS at specialty and all breeds level. I also own and show Bull Terriers and have been given permission by the Bull Terrier Council of Australia to issue ROM points.

I entered the judges training scheme in the late 1980s with Group 7. Due to business commitments I was unable to dedicate the amount of time needed to continue and I recommenced my training in 2007. I feel very privileged to have been able to attain All Breeds status in 2017. I have judged extensively throughout Australia and have also judged in New Zealand, Thailand, India, China, Canada and the Philippines at all breeds and specialty shows.
