Mr Steve Dalton
2017 NATIONAL SHOW JUDGE’S PROFILE
Steve Dalton
Steve was introduced to the character that is a Jack Russell at the age of 6 when his dad came home from the pub with a scruffy looking terrier pup. She ended up living at his granddads allotment with the chickens and pigs.
At the allotment is where Steve found out how much fun you can have with a terrier and a never ending supply of rats, he was hooked.
It wasn’t until 1999 and a chance meeting with Clive Matthews and John Collier at the Chatsworth show that Steve got his first show dog ‘Ronnie’. You could say it was the right place at the right time.
With lots of championship results and too many to mention first places with Ronnie and his offspring ‘Topdraw’ kennels was established.
With a lot of his time spent showing and judging, Steve still manages to get out with the dogs and like-minded people in his local area for vermin control.
Terriers are a major part of Steve and his family’s life and they have met some ‘characters’ along the way (not all dogs)
Steve feels highly honoured to have been chosen to judge the 2017 National Show.
