Having grown up in a family always surrounded by Whippets, I started to accompany my mother to shows and began showing our Whippets at the age of 7. Now, alongside my mother, Helen Johnston and my partner, Jake Wilson, we campaign our Danluke Whippets regularly throughout the UK.

The first Danluke litter was born in 2007 from our foundation bitch, Falconcrag Rhumour (Ch Oakbark Millennium Gold x Multi Ch Becscott Standard Lady of Falconcrag) and from her second litter, born in 2009, came our first UK Champion, Danluke Dance Of Love, who was made up in 2012, became a UK Championship Show Group and Reserve BIS winner, and was also Whippet of the Year 2011. Our second UK Champion was Dance Of Love’s sire, Ch Collooney Tricky Dicky (bred by Viv Coulter). From Dance Of Love’s first litter, sired by Multi Ch Collooney Move On over, she produced our 3rd UK Champion and our most successful Whippet to date, Ch Danluke Lord Of The Dance. Lord Of The Dance has won 17 UK CCs including Crufts 2019, as well as RCC Crufts 2016 and 2022, Top Whippet Male 2017 and Whippet Male of the Year 2017 & 2018, he has also been the Top Winning Veteran 2021 & 2022. Lord Of The Dance has also sired our 4th and 5th Champions, bred by others; Ch Aarminias Dragon Lord of Danluke (made up within 3 months post-Covid) and Ch Cyangrange My Cuppa Tea of Danluke (Joint Top Whippet 2021 and also a Group and Reserve BIS winner).

I also have a huge passion for Salukis, having owned/bred 6 UK Champions, in partnership with others. Our Salukis have won multiple Top Saluki awards, BOB at Crufts and in 2012, #2 Hound behind the UK Top Dog All Breeds. I have also owned an Afghan Hound Champion and handled dogs to their UK titles in Deerhounds and Greyhounds.

I began to judge in 2013 and in 2021, I awarded CCs in Whippets for the first time, becoming the youngest Championship Whippet judge in UK history. I also had the pleasure of judging abroad for the first time in 2022, at the Sandefjord International Show in Norway.

I am extremely looking forward to judging your beautiful dogs at the Nederlandse Whippet Club in 2023 and thank the club for the honour!
