(ROCKENHART)
I purchased my first Smooth Bearnan Eile in 1969 at the princely sum of 10 Irish pounds, I started to show him as I thought he looked quiet good. He went on to win many prizes for me.
My first Irish Champion was a very nice dog called Sherwyn Stealaway which I acquired from the late Frank Jones [Jonwyre]. He Sired many good dogs for me.
I have been consistently showing Smooths for nearly 50 years now. I have Bred and made up numerous Smooth Champions. I also made up 4 Wire Champions. Some of our Best Smooths from Rockenhart Kennels were Irish, Eng and Am CH Rockenhart Discovery who won Fox Terrier Gold Cup and BOB at Crufts 2001, Irish and Eng CH Migley Lyric of Rockenhart won Fox Terrier Gold Cup 2000 and Irish CH Fieldron Wicked Lady won CC at Fox Terrier Club Show in 1993, she was owned and handled by my Son Garrett at 19 years of age.
I have made up many Smooths since then and I continue to Show today.
I have been Judging for over 45 Years now, I judged in the following Countries Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Belgium, England, Scotland, Wales, Russia, USA, Australia and Ireland. In 2003 I had the privilege of Judging The Fox Terrier Gold Cup show in England. 
I am qualified to Judge all Terriers, Group3, and all Gundogs Groups 7 and 8. I am also an A Panel Field Trial Judge for Retrievers.
