Jimanie Corgis have successfully competed in conformation with well over 30 (I've lost count!) show champions produced for Jimanie and many more for others as well. Even though our main focus is on showing in conformation, there have been many Jimanie Corgis that have competed successfully in herding, obedience, tracking and agility and have garnered many championships and titles. Jimanie Corgis have been employed as therapy dogs in hospitals and nursing homes and most important, many have found loving homes as beloved family companions - the highest calling for a Corgi! All of this has been accomplished with the production of only one or two litters per year! We truly do try to focus on quality and not on quantity. That is why the wait for a Jimanie Corgi is often a long one.

My long-time involvement in the dog fancy has brought about lifelong friendships with the people I have met through this wonderful breed. In 1988, I took the great leap from breeder to judge when I was approved by the American Kennel Club to judge Pembrokes, Cardigans and German Shepherds. I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenging role and have been fortunate enough to have been asked to judge dogs all over the United States and throughout the world. I have judged in Canada, Australia, Jamaica, Finland, Norway and New Zealand and have met many wonderful people along the way. I am presently approved to judge all of the Herding Breeds, the Herding Group all of the Sporting Breeds and the Sporting Group, Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and Pugs, plus Junior Showmanship and Best in Show. The highlights of my judging career thus far have been my appointment to judge several national specialties, including my own breed, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, plus the national specialities of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Australian Shepherd and Field Spaniel and also several of the herding breeds at the premier show in the US, the 2006 Westminster Kennel Club show held in New York every February.
