Hi everyone, my name is Anita Neal and I feel very honoured to be asked to judge the Dutch Championships for the second time, having judge it previously in 2012, were I had the most fantastic time. As well as the UK and Holland, I have also judged in Belgium, Austria, Guernsey and Jersey.
I started in competitive obedience in 1982 not with a dog but by caller stewarding or scoreboarding nearly every weekend for various judges. I started competiting in 1984 with my first Working Sheepdog named Ozzy (Oswald Megan’s Pride). Ozzy took me from Beginners to CH C winning our first ticket in 1991.
My second dog, Chezzi (Ob.Ch Chalkwell Chezzi O.W) won 7 tickets and competed at Crufts on 5 consecutive occasions, 1998 - 2002 and our greatest accomplishment was coming 4th in 2001.
My third dog, Chalki (Ob.Ch Chalkwell Chunki Chalki O.W) won 5 tickets and also competed at Crufts on 5 consecutive occasions, 2003 - 2007. When I got my fourth dog I decided to have a change from Working Sheepdogs and got a GSD who I named Buddi (Chalkwell Golden Buddi). He competed up to C but it was all a bit too much for him so I retired him form competitive obedience.
With my fifth dog I decided to go back to what I understand the most, the Working Sheepdog. So,Razzy (Dodgin Razzy Razcal O.W) came into my life. At this time I also changed my training technique, from conventional to positive reinenforcement. Wow, what a game changer.
Razzy took to it like a duck to water but his over enthusiastic drive to please caused somewhat of a controversy, so we only managed to win 1 ticket, but I wouldn't have had him any other way and we went to Crufts in 2016.
I'm now currently competiting with Razzy's son, Scrummy (Firetouch He'zz So Scrummy O.W). He's won 1 ticket so far and we went to Crufts in 2024.
I not only compete but do my fair share of judging, ring stewarding and scribing every year. I feel it's important to give something back to the sport that has given me and my dogs so much pleasure.
I started my judging career back in 1992 and qualified to judge Championship C in 2000, awarding my first CC in 2001.
To date I have judged 23 tickets, 50 open C's and too many other classes to mention. I have and do love every minute of competitive obedience in whatever capacity and I'm sure I'm going to have the most fabulous time judging faboulous teams on 8th November 2025.
Be happy
