I live on the barrier island in Indialantic, Florida. I am a fine artist specializing in pet portraits and I play a mean game of tennis. Showing—27 years; Judging—1.5 years.

DOUG WINDSOR
I live with my wife (Wendy Schira) in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada which is about one hour from Toronto, Ontario. I purchased my first pure-bred Golden Retriever in 1971 and began showing the same year. I have been breeding both Gold- en Retrievers and Flat-Coated Retrievers for over 40 years and have bred 100+ Canadian Champions and 75+ American Champions. I have also bred Belgian Shepherd dogs for 35+
years and recently have also bred Barbet and Schipperke. We still show Goldens, Flat-Coats, Barbet and Schipperke. I am a CKC licensed All-breed judge and have been judging all breeds for over 20 years. I have also been judging at AKC shows for 25+ years.
ANN YUHASZ
I am a lucky girl as my husband and I and one very spoiled Norfolk Ter- rier split our time between the glorious Chagrin Valley (Cleveland, Ohio) and the fabulous Florida Keys—you can guess when! Outside of dogs—there is a life outside dogs? I work for our son as CFO for his printing com- pany, I love to paint in oils and we garden—orchids in
Florida, veggies and perennials in Ohio. I have a very full life augmented by family, dogs and wonderful dog friends. As my folks were both involved in the sport, my mother, a breeder of ES and later a well-respected judge, and my father, a dog lover, supporter and AKC delegate, I really always was “doggie”. I myself have been involved in the sport since the
