Meet Catherine Rutherford

VICE CHAIRMAN

I have always had an interest in dogs and when I married our first joint purchase was of course a puppy. I attended puppy training classes and then progressed to competitive obedience. I had some success with both GSD’s and boxers. I did have a Mableton boxer who I did showed lightly.

 My daughter introduced us to pugs and we eventually bought her one, having always had larger dogs we took some convincing but now we wouldn’t have any other breed. Initially my daughter did the showing, and I did the driving but before I knew it we had two pugs and I started showing. The highlight of my show career was getting my 1st CC then BOB, Toy group one and RBIS at Three Counties 2023. I still like to do a bit of obedience and we always have a pug who we can work.

I started judging in 2014 and hope to be able to award CC’s in the near future.
