Judging Credentials

Erin Brown has been licensed to judge shows since 1987, through Dogs Australia and the FCI.

The licence covers all ten FCI groups.

Dogs Australia lists Brown as an all-breed judge, entitled to award Best in Show and to act as an accredited assessor.

The judge holds a second registration as well: the American Kennel Club approves Brown for all seven of its own groups, listing the judge as a visiting judge — Sporting Group, Hound Group, Working Group, Terrier Group, Toy Group, Non-Sporting Group, Herding Group — a separate system from the FCI's, with different breeds in each group.

Dogs Australia also licenses Brown outside the show ring, for lure coursing.

Erin Brown is listed as an FCI judge under Fédération Cynologique Internationale.

Breeding and Kennel Background

She started exhibiting in the early 1960s and registered the Quanmarra prefix in 1971, when she imported her foundation Salukis from Daxlore Kennels in the United Kingdom.

She has also shown and bred Papillons, Rottweilers and Dachshunds, but Salukis remained her abiding passion.

She bred multiple Best in Show winning Salukis, in partnership with Penny Dunkley and with the Ahmadi Salukis of Ian Rasmussen and Philip Bennett.

She is also an all-breeds cat judge for the Australian Cat Federation through the Feline Control Council of Queensland.
