Mrs. Stephanie S. Hedgepath
Began showing dogs in 1969 with a German Shepherd Dog. I am a breeder/owner/handler and still breed and occasionally show. I started out showing dogs from the Working Group (before Herding became the 7th group), but as a hunter, I always had a "bird dog" and thus also showed Brittanys, Pointers, Golden Retrievers and Irish Setters over the years.
I currently judge the Herding, Sporting, Toy, and Non-Sporting groups. I have been fortunate enough to have judged dogs all over the US and Canada and also in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Jamaica, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, China, the Philippines, Mexico and the United Kingdom. In 2011, I was accorded the supreme honor of being asked to judge the Welsh Corgi League National show (Pembrokes) in the UK and in previous years both the Cardigan and Pembroke Nationals in the US. I have also had the honor of having judged many National and Regional Specialties for breeds I did not breed, own or show from all 4 groups throughout the years, an assignment I always enjoy!
