Judge's Background & History

Mr. Donald M. Booxbaum
Home: Jensen Beach, FL

Began exhibiting Great Danes in 1946. He is responsible for many champions in the breed, including the top-winning Dane of 1973 and the top-producing stud dog of 1967. He has also bred Boxers that were “sold or given to good pet homes and were never shown.” First approved to judge Great Danes in 1951, and today judges the Working, Herding, and Sporting groups, plus Affenpinschers, Japanese Chin, Miniature Pinschers and Pugs. He is a popular judge at major venues across the country, having judged numerous national-specialty shows and at the 1984 American Kennel Club Centennial show in Philadelphia. “It is the challenge of judging that affords me the most pleasure,” he says. President of the Palm Beach County Dog Fanciers and is past president of the Great Dane Club of America, having served in that capacity for five terms. He is a past four-term president of the Boxer Club of Long Island and served the Tri-Cities Kennel Club as its AKC delegate for twelve years.
