Judy Tsakalos with Mickey

Years trialling: More years than she cares to remember! "I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember - my tenth brithday present was a Border Collie puppy who was my constant companion (best remembered for his ability to kick me out of his canoe!) and my parents had Cocker Spaniels before that. My husband and I acquired our first German Shorthaired Pointers in 1971, beginning a love affair with the breed that hasn't ended yet."
Judging Career:"Through them I became interestedt in Obedience and gained my Obedience Judge's licence in 1985. I have judged Agility since it's inception and, more recently, became a Tracking Judge. I have trained my own dogs to UD and Tracking Champion but although I have now trained three dogs to competition level in Agility, I have only recently come close to a title. GSPs are accident prone."
