Well I think for the first time in many years we've been flumoxate by an enquiry from a fellow breeder down under!  Imagine the scene sleeping away happily in ones bed when the phone rings, on the line is a breeder from New Zealand asking about said individual ------- well I'm sorry how many of us can even string a sentence together let along think intelligently after such a wake up call? 

Needless to say we've spent most of the day trying to find anyone who knows who this person is with a big fat blank response, breed club president only 82 yrs old so very little experience never heard of him, aussie terrier friend again with only a couple yrs experience ie 40 yrs again no idea who he is.

So tell me you all knowing folk have we all missed him other than a couple articles in Dog World!

Hi are you sure its not Steven Seymour, i serfed the net and came up with this....

Yes thats probably is as he's claiming griffons brux, beagles and aussie terriers

He seems to have bred a few champions according to this pedigree plus contributed to a fairly academic article on health

I know of him, he judges Beagles and have been under him recently at Boston Champ show, he's a nice chap. He is orginally from OZ and has lived in the UK for many years now. He was in Beagles not sure what other breeds though I thought PBGV's but might be wrong. Andrew Brace should know him as he sent over one of his Beagles (years ago now) which Stephen showed in OZ, it's in Andrew's Beagle book. Hope that sheds some light.

Indeed it does thanks, he's due to judge at a show in New Zealand with non of them having heard of him before, we joined that club lol. I have managed to find Griffon Bruxis, beagles and Aussie terriers in his Beagriff affix and some articles in Dog world but have to admit I'd never heard of him before todays call lol.

Had a feeling he'd be an Aussie when I found some pedigree's for his Griffons will pass details onto the guys in NZ thanks.

He appears to have bred New Zealand Champions too according to Google so you would think some of them might have heard of him.

Think he may have judged the International Junior Handling at Crufts  acouple of years ago.
