Judge's Background & History

Joe Lobb
Home: Brucefield, Ontario, Canada
Initial Breed: Doberman

We began in dogs in 1974, with the acquisition of our first Doberman. We bred our first litter in 1977 under the ‘Dobenhaus’ prefix and in 1988 we added the Smooth Fox Terriers which we continue to breed and exhibit on a limited basis under the “FauxPaw” prefix. We handled professionally on a limited basis, having many excellent dogs of other breeds in our charge, some of which achieved many top rankings. As well as Dobes and Smooth Fox we have also owned and exhibited a multitude of other breeds that have added to our many successes (see above). We have judged in Canada and the US, Janet also in China, having had the honour of awarding BIS in all three countries. Assignments have included specialty and all-breed events. As well we’ve both enjoyed judging ‘rare breed’ events over the years, exposing us to many other well-known breeds from all parts of the world.
