Horswell, Jeff
Jeff has been going to dog shows from an early age. It all started when his mother (Ann Foxwell) decided that a Great Dane was the ideal breed for a family pet, and they then decided to go along to a local show.
A ‘show’ Dane followed and the Auldmoor Great Dane kennel has gone on to produce a steady stream of Champions, both in the UK and around the world.
Jeff decided to have Miniature Wire Dachshunds as his own breed. 23 Min Wire Champions have been made up by him, including 3 Crufts BOB winners and 4 group winners.
Jeff has always had an interest in many breeds and has also made up a Greyhound Champion and 2 Field Spaniel Show Champions, along with winning Reserve CCs with a Basenji and Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier. He currently shares his home with Champion Whippets.
Jeff first judged in 1982, and first awarded CCs in 1989. He judged Min Wires at Crufts in 2000, and many breeds since then. Jeff is approved to award CCs in over 170 breeds across all 7 UK groups. He judged Best in Show at Crufts in 2017 and has judged the Hound and Pastoral Groups at Crufts.
Jeff has judged many parts of the world including Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Russia, Australia, Estonia, Latvia, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, Belgium, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland, Romania, Ireland, USA, Canada, Japan, Argentina, Colombia, India, South Africa, Trinidad & Barbados.
He is a former member of the KC Board.
This will be his first time judging at a FCI World Show.
