I'm never without my dog. They would be in every corner of the house, and my wife will not allow me to have any more than that. But I have lots of dogs. I love the dogs. I breed them. I always have a puppy coming. And I show dogs. I show German shepherds.
I was planning to go into law or politics. I was well known for my public speaking. I went to an all-girl boarding school with uniforms. It was very posh for someone like me who came from a world where my parents showed beagles and sold dog products out of a yellow caravan.
I have two poodles - I'm a poodle person.
The majority of border collie owners and breeders don't want to have anything to do with the show ring.
I'm a huge dog nut - giant, giant.
Few targets of ridicule are as easy to hit as owners and handlers of competitive show dogs.
I used to breed poodles. I liked them because they were fluffy and so cute - and honestly, they make a lot of money when you sell them!
I would overhear these conversations of people who show purebred dogs. They spoke about them as if they were their children.
I am a dog in the sport.
I'm very passionate about my two Dobermans, Stella and Mr Jonty. I go on and on and on about them, and people have to tell me to shut up before I get out pictures of them.
