I finished many champions in the days of thirty-eight dogs for a major!” Her Afghan bloodlines were behind many champions of future generations.

CRONCHEY, Mr. Keith

Keith started showing a Dobermann (which they bought as a guard dog) in 1966 and his young daughter showed a Shetland Sheepdog at the same time. In 1972 they added Great Danes in partnership and with which they continued until 1985.  In that year they went into partnership and established the “Brigadoon” Bearded Collie kennels. Having served an apprenticeship as a Steward for several years, Keith started judging in 1972 and gained his first Championship Show Licence in 1974. Due to work commitments it was not until 1991 that he was able to gain the final Group to make him “All Breeds”.
He has been fortunate to have judged many times in both Islands of New Zealand and in all States and Territories of Australia. It has been particularly rewarding for him to have been invited back to judge for several affiliates. 
In late 2004 he had his first truly international appointments when he judged in Johannesburg and Cape Town on consecutive weekends. 
Keith and his wife Jill are contracted to judge the Golden Jubilee Open Show of the Bearded Collie Club (England) in July 2005; she to judge the Dogs and Keith to judge the Bitches, this is a signal honour for both of them. They will then be travelling on to Finland to judge at the Espoo Show in early August. A further appointment to judge in Finland in 2006 has been proposed.
When Keith judges he tries to take into account the characteristics and requirements of the breed Standards rather than being influenced by “Prettiest on the Stack and Fastest around the Ring”. When judging he is continually asking exhibitors to “Slow Down” when they are gaiting their exhibits – perhaps this is because when he is exhibiting he cannot keep up with them?. 

CRONCHEY, Mrs. Mary Gillian (Jill)

Toys, Hounds, Working, Utility and Non-Sporting Groups

Jill has been a dog lover all of her life. Her Mother owned and bred Miniature Poodles and had a show dog which a friend showed for her. Her Father bred Cocker Spaniels. Her first show dog was a Dobermann. Her young daughter had a Shetland Sheepdog to show at this time. Later they went into partnership with friends in a Great Dane kennel. 
In 1982 she judged a Bearded Collie Open Show and fell in love with the breed. In 1985, together with her husband and a friend they established the “Brigadoon” Bearded Collie kennel. In 1991 she was privileged to judge the Bearded Collie Club of South Australia Championship Show.
In 1995 they imported a brown/white dog from England and three of his progeny are their current Show dogs. She has judged in all States of Australia and the Australian Capital Territory, She has also judged several times in both Islands of New Zealand. She has been honoured to have been invited to judge again for several affiliated Clubs.
In 2002 she judged at an Open Show in England and at a Championship Show in Finland. Jill and her husband Keith will be judging in England at the Bearded Collie Club’s Golden Jubilee Open Show in July 2005 and afterwards, in early August, they will be travelling on to judge In Helsinki, Finland. When judging she tries to keep in mind the required function of the breed, its characteristics and its typical breed movement.

CROSS, Mr. Phillip & Mrs. Elaine

Toys, Utility, Non-Sporting

Elaine & Phillip started showing Basset Hounds in 1958, and early in 1960 they saw a Miniature Pinscher and fell in love!! They also had Whippets for many years and showed and bred them very successfully. They had some of the top winning Miniature Pinschers through 1960 - 1977 when they went to Papua New Guinea to work. The then Papua New Guinea Kennel Club, took on the Victoria system for judges training and over the years they both obtained their All Breeds status, however when they returned to Australia in 1989, the powers that be decided they would have to start all over again, resulting in the fact that they are now qualified to judge only the Groups 1, 6 and 7.
They have concentrated on their Miniature Pinschers, but have shown Pomeranians extensively, mostly for other people! Both have judged in Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and of course New South Wales. They have also  judged in the Philippines and in NZ.
