Anita Duggan (IE)

I went to my first dog show when I was 6 weeks old and the rest as they say is history. I got bitten by the show bug and started showing some of my mother’s Shih Tzus under the Leorient affix.

I started Junior handling and was fortunate enough to represent my country twice at the International Junior handling final at Crufts

In the 80’s we got our first Siberian husky. We have been very fortunate to have owned, bred and campaigned the top Siberian husky in Ireland for many years. Our small kennels of dogs are record breakers within the breed in Ireland. We have bred the youngest ever Irish Champion in the breed as well as the most winning Siberian husky ever in Ireland. We have since gotten our first Rottweiler to join our small Kennel.

I started judging in 1997 starting with Shih Tzus. Since then I have judged in many countries including Australia, America, Slovenia, Sweden, Canada, Croatia, Italy, Estonia, Portugal, Russia, Netherlands, Poland, Norway, Finland, San Marino, South Africa, Belgium, Lithuania, Iceland, Canada, Germany and Denmark.

I am currently passed by the Irish Kennel Club to judge all Groups as well as Best In Show and Junior Handling.
