![]() John's first Saint Bernard came to live with him in 1969. This five-week-old puppy went on to become the breed’s most-titled (at the time) with American and Canadian Champion titles and American and Canadian Utility Dog (UD) obedience titles. Since Nicklus, John has lived with eight other Saints which have earned additional championships and UDTs & Working Dog titles. John is also known for a Pembroke Welsh Corgi that earned a Tracking Dog (TD) title.
John started judging AKC obedience in 1978 and thoroughly enjoys this aspect of the sport. 2018 will be John's 40th year judging. He recently was acquired by the AKC to help support the companion events department. John is well-known for his Dog Talk articles published below and in the Front & Finish magazine. Dog Talk covers a large number of aspects involved in the sport including handling and judging tips. |
