Ms. Lee Whittier has been involved in the sport of purebred dogs for over three decades. Her involvement began as
an owner, exhibitor and, subsequently, a breeder of Rottweilers. She has owned Akitas, Bullmastiffs, and a Sussex Spaniel. She
currently owns, breeds, and exhibits Tibetan Terriers. Ms. Whittier began judging in 2000, and then took a hiatus for several years to
work for the American Kennel Club as an Executive Field Representative in the Pacific Northwest. She returned to judging in 2011,
and currently judges the Working, Terrier, Toy, and Non-Sporting Groups, seventeen Hound Breeds, ten Sporting Breeds, Bouvier des
Flandres, and Best in Show. Ms. Whittier has judged dog shows around the world, from the United States, Canada, South America,
and Asia, at shows large and small; all of great importance to each and every exhibitor. Some of the larger shows are Westminster
Kennel Club, Kennel Club of Philadelphia, Del Valle Dog Club of Livermore, Great Western Terrier Association, Northern California
Terrier Association, Hatboro Dog Club, Inc., Malibu Kennel Club, and the Kennel Club of Palm Springs.
Ms. Whittier is a standing
member of Dog Fanciers of Oregon, The Central Florida Cairn Terrier Club, Columbia River Cairn Terrier Association, and the Tibetan
Terrier Club of America. As an active member in numerous clubs, she has worked in the capacity of Show Chair, President, Vice-
President, Secretary, Board Member, and Constitution & By-Laws Revision Committee Member.
In addition to judging, Ms. Whittier
developed the Dog Show Mentor program, exclusively for owner handlers. This is an online program where owner handlers of all
stages and levels learn to develop an individual, strategic approach to showing dogs. She also travels to speak to owner handlers all
over the world. She currently lives in Vancouver, Washington, with her husband, Wayne, and their three Tibetan Terriers. Her other
interests include gardening and hiking with the dogs. |
