Judge Profiles Mrs Wendy Russell (Queensland) Judging: Dances With Dogs Competition Mrs Wendy Russell cannot remember a time in her life that was without dogs. She was captivated with the Canine Obedience Competition after attending the Royal Queensland Show as a spectator in the late 1980’s. This led her to join the Obedience Dog Club of Brisbane (ODCB) with her Pomeranian and, in time, was well and truly ‘hooked’ on the sport of Obedience. Mrs Russell has spent many years with ODCB involving weekends of demonstrations at schools in and around Brisbane. She believes the 15 combined Obedience Clubs in the centre ring at the Royal Queensland Show has been a wonderful experience with the exhibitors and their dogs of all breeds. She held the position of Secretary at Obedience Dog Club of Brisbane from 2004-2006. In 2008 she joined Dances with Dogs Queensland and became a judge of the sport of Dances with Dogs in 2010. At present, she is dancing with a fun loving Golden Retriever.

Ms Ann Shannon (Queensland) Judging: Dances With Dogs Competition Ms Ann Shannon has been involved with dogs all her life, starting with showing and obedience in Belfast with a West Highland White Terrier, in the mid 1960’s. Her love for Dances with Dogs began in 1997 when she attended Crufts and watched Mary Ray and Kizzy perform their ‘Riverdance’ routine. Ms Shannon has been back 12 times since to watch the fabulous Freestyle and HTM Competitions and the exciting International Freestyle Competition. In 2008 when Australia first thought of bringing the sport into the country, she was involved in the original committee setting up the rules and guidelines; and was one of the first DWD Judges in Queensland in 2009. Since then the sport has gone from strength to strength and the Dances With Dogs Club Qld Inc now hosts six competitions a year with some 60 club members. Ms Shannon is the club’s Competition Manager/Secretary and organises all events throughout the year. She did start a promising career with her Border Collie ‘Switch’ in a dazzling Michael Jackson routine but sadly Switch developed a heart murmur and they had to give up training and competing. Ann wishes all the DWD Competitors a happy and successful day.
