Ms Moira Bruce (Queensland)
Judging: Agility and Jumping
For as long as she can remember dogs have been a huge part of Moira’s life. At
around 12 years old she saw an agility demonstration at a local Pet Expo and from
that moment it became her goal to one day get a chocolate Border Collie and take
part in such an incredible team sport. Moira got her chocolate Border Collie “Fly” in
2006 and has been a member of Dogs Queensland since then. She has been heavily
involved in Agility over the years and has also competed in Conformation Showing,
Rally O and Obedience – titling her dogs in all these disciplines.
Moira is proud of her results as an agility handler and the success of her dogs. Her
dogs have placed in the top 10 South East QLD Agility and Jumping Dog of the Year
6 times since 2010, and have placed in both State and National events.
She is always looking to further her knowledge and skills in agility. She attends
courses and keeps up to date with the latest handling techniques and course design
and is always happy to pass on her knowledge and has instructed agility for many
years at her local ANKC clubs. She has also assisted the Border Collie Club of QLD to
organise the dog sports events at the 2016 4th Border Collie Nationals.
In 2015 she decided to become an Agility Judge and has judged at many
competitions locally and has travelled interstate for numerous judging appointments.
She feels that judging is an incredible experience; being able to develop a course and
then stand in the middle judging the skills and teamwork of the dogs and handlers.
Moira has competed at the Royal Brisbane Show many times over the years with her
own dogs and is now looking forward to judging at such a fabulous event where
handlers can showcase their beautiful dogs across all the disciplines.
She wishes all the best to everyone competing this year.
