BIOGRAPHY FROM MARY NAPPER
My first show dog was an Old English Sheepdog in 1975 and with a great mentor was hooked into the sport. I have since owned and exhibited Komondorok, Afghans, Miniature Pinschers, Chinese Cresteds & Cocker Spaniels and handled several other breeds. I have bred and owned over 60 Cocker Spaniel & Chinese Crested champions, several of which have won at National Specialties, placed in groups & produced BIS, BISS, group winning & National Specialty winning offspring.
I started judging in 2006, currently approved for 8 AKC breeds and Junior Showmanship Competition. I have had the honor of judging the Cocker Spaniel
National Specialty in 2009. I believe in giving each dog my full attention and consideration, after all the exhibitors have paid for my time and whether or not I choose their dog, they are entitled to my honest and unbiased opinion.
My first experience with Fila’s was in November 2009 when a friend of mine suggested that I come and watch. I watched the judging all day on Sunday to include the temperament testing, talking with your breeders and exhibitors. I enjoyed learning about the breed standard, the purpose of your breed and how to judge the breed. I then was asked to judge your breed in 2010 and found it to be a great experience and I am honored to be back to judge at your show. I can appreciate the patience, knowledge and care that your breeders take with an old breed to be sure that it stays true to its original purpose.
I am a member of DFW Judges Education, ADJS, American Spaniel Club (breed mentor), American Chinese Crested Club (breed mentor), Nolan River Kennel Club (show chairman), Cocker Spaniel Club of Dallas (president), Dallas Miniature Pinscher Club and Toy Dog Club of Dallas. I enjoy giving back to the sport that has given me so many friends and memories.
