BOB ROWBOTHAM 

BIOGRAPHY

       I’m a broadcast journalist by trade and I’ve been involved in the broadcast industry for over 40 years, the last 20 as station manager of Rock 107. My wife, Margot and I enjoy theatre, wine and traveling.

     I’ve been heavily involved in purebred dogs since 1975 when I purchased my first purebred, an afghan hound. I have participated in conformation, lure coursing and obedience.

     For over 20 years I handled professionally, campaigning and exhibiting several breeds in all seven groups. I have won over 100 best in shows with dogs I’ve handled or owned.

     During those years my house dogs have included afghans, salukis, bassets, mini dachshunds, labs, goldens and a Lakeland Terrier. I’m currently owned by a Cairn Terrier.

     I’m currently the Eastern Ontario Director for the Canadian Kennel Club

     I enjoy all aspects of the dog show scene. I look forward to learning more about the other disciplines and events such as agility, field trials and hunt tests.
