Introducing your Judge ………………Mr. Geoff Spurrier (Geliland)
I purchased my first beardie, Tambora’s Brown Sugar at Geliland, after seeing Margaret Osborne award Ch. Osmart Bonnie Blue Braid BOB at Crufts in 1972. Brown Sugar was bred by
Jackie Tidmarsh from Ch Osmart Bonnie Blue Braid ex Ch Edelweiss of Tambora.
After having reasonable success in the show ring with Brown Sugar, I showed two of his
grandchildren, both of whom gained RCCs. Another became an American Champion
(Ch Geliland Black Bawbee at Chaniam) who went BIS all breeds, and another a Swedish,
Finnish and Norwegian Champion (Ch Geliland Morning Miracle).
My first homebred Champion was “Disney”, Ch Geliland Star of the Screen, who sired
two English and two Irish Champions. By the age of 3, Disney had won every trophy the
Bearded Collie Club had to offer – Top Puppy (Orora Trophy), Top Junior (Willison Trophy),
and Top Dog (Tambora Trophy). When Disney was awarded his second CC under
Anne Wilding (Bendale), he went BIS at Scottish Breeds Championship Show under Jim Currie.
I have shown Breeze (Ch Geliland Sea Breeze), a Disney great grandson, who, as well
as having great success in the ring, being the top Beardie in the UK for 2007 and 2008 and
winning the Tambora trophy, has also qualified as a Pets As Therapy dog (PAT)
I first judged Beardies in the 1980s, was approved to award CCs in 1992 and awarded my
first set of CCs in 1993. Besides extensive judging in the UK, I’ve judged in Holland, Denmark,
Finland and Germany. I'm judging the Great Lakes Bearded Collie Speciality near Detroit on
Friday 4 July this year.
I am also a Life Member of the Bearded Collie Club. I have been a full member of The
Kennel Club since 1994. For a number of years I served as Membership Secretary of the
Bearded Collie Club.
Outside of dogs one of my hobbies is raising money for charity, and I am authorised by
Teenage Cancer Trust to hold fundraising events on their behalf. There is now Teen Cancer
America, an organisation established to replicate the work here in the UK.

DEFINITION OF CLASSES
In the following definitions, a Challenge Certificate includes any Show Award that counts towards the title of Champion under the Rules of any Governing body recognised by the Kennel Club. Wins at Championship Shows in Breed classes where Challenge Certificates are not on offer shall be counted as wins at Open Shows. In the case of a dog owned in partnership and entered in Members’ classes or competing for Members’ Specials each partner must at the time of entry be a member of the Society. In estimating the number of awards won, all wins up to and including Monday September 1st 2014, i.e. the seventh day before the date of closing of entries, shall be counted when entering for any class. Wins in Variety classes do not count for entry in Breed classes but when entering for Variety classes, wins in both Breed and Variety classes must be counted. A First prize does not include a Special prize of whatever value. If an exhibitor reports before the judging of a class or classes that a dog has been entered which is ineligible, the exhibitor may choose one of the following options:
1. WITHDRAWAL. The dog may be withdrawn from competition subject to the conditions of Regulations 9(j) & 20.
2. TRANSFER. a) If a dog is ineligible for a class or classes as regards its colour, sex, weight or height, the Show Secretary shall transfer it to the equivalent class or classes for the correct colour, sex, weight or height, and in the event of there being no equivalent class, Minor Puppy and Puppy excepted, to the Open class for the correct colour, sex, weight or height.
b) If an exhibit is entered incorrectly in a Minor Puppy, Puppy or Junior class which is over age but under 12, 18, or 24 calendar months of age respectively, the Show Secretary shall transfer it to the Puppy, Junior or Yearling class respectively for the correct colour, sex, weight or height, and in the event of there being no Puppy, Junior or Yearling class to the Open class for the correct colour, sex, weight or height.
c) For any reason other than the above, The Show Secretary shall transfer it to the open class for the correct colour, sex, weight or height.
d) If an exhibit arrives late and misses a class, even if it is the only class in which the dog is entered, the dog may not be transferred to any other class.
