KNOW OUR JUDGES:
Mrs.Barbara Muller, Switzerland
Grown up with Newfoundland’s and German Shepherd’s, dogs have been part of my life ever since. At the age of 8 years,
I started to go to training classes with “my” first German Shepard and since then the Dog World became more and more important for me.
The first English Cocker Spaniel arrived in my house in 1970 and 1973 I started breeding Spaniels,
followed by Old English Sheepdogs and Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen under the “Pennylane” prefix.
Many National and International Champions, European Winner and World Winners were bred, trained and also handled by me.
In 1980 I was confirmed by the Swiss Kennel club (SKG) as a judge and since 2012 I am approved to judge all FCI breeds. Since 2006 I am a member of the Swiss Kennel Club board and President of the Judges- and Show Commission. In 2010 I became a member of the FCI Europe Section Committee, and have been the vice-president for many years.
From 2014 to 2019 I have been the President of the FCI Show Commission and in 2019 I became a member of the FCI General Committee.
In most European Countries, Africa, Asia, Australia, South America, England and USA I have judged many times, this includes
numerous National Specialties, Section Winner-and several World Dog Shows.
I feel very honoured to be invited to judge in Chennai and look forward to the show events and the dogs in India with great pleasure.

mentors during my career and firmly believe that one is never too old to learn and continued education on all Breeds is important for me.
