Judith White Handler

Judith White :- Interior Designer
Started training and running dogs in 2001


Ian White Trained her using the same commands as himself just in case one day his job may take him away from home and Judith could still run the dog. Training together every day Judith took on Cracka litter sister to FTCh Minstead Morse. She took to it all very quickly. I had entered Cracka For the North West Lab Retriever Club Open Working Test at Buxton. Not realising that I would be away at the London Marathon I left the entry in and asked to change the handler, which was accepted. So Judith went off to her first ever event. Once at Buxton she realised what she had let herself in for. The quality of the field was like the who’s who of the National Championships. Everybody was really helpful realising it was her first event. When she was still there, being one of the last 6 remaining dogs, people started asking who was this person and in her first event. The final outcome was Judith White 1st. She phoned me while I was travelling back from London. I was totally shocked but not surprised. We have continued to train our dogs together and Judith is very much hands on in looking after them all and is brilliant when we have litters on the go. The good thing about training together is the young pups can change so much in their response to different people, that a dog I might be bringing on, stops responding to me but gets on better with Judith and visa versa
This is what happened with Scout. He became an open dog very quickly in working test and in Oct 05 he won his first Field trial followed very quickly by another win in an All Aged Stake Field trial, then a COM in another Trial
2006 Season was on the horizon and suddenly out of the Blue I was going to be away for most of the trialling season. So we decided Judith would take over the handling of Scout for the 2006 season. Scout at this time was a very hard going dog and Judith took him on head to head and it is well known what she has achieved. She has worked with him and they understand each other very well. Underneath that hard exterior he is the kindest most placid dog you could ever have. Judith has the ability to keep him calm between retrieves but when she pushes the button his out runs are quite unbelievable. She has spent hours and hours with him teaching him to hunt properly once he reaches the area; hence he is a very good game finder and has had many eye wipes to his credit.
