| Like many people in the Canine world, Peter's association with purebred dogs can be traced back to his families association with Irish Setters, Standard Poodles and Dachshunds many years ago.
After establishing a career in aviation, Peter returned to purebred dogs in the early 1990’s and established a small, yet highly successful kennel, breeding under the Greysouthen prefix. Concentrating on Gundogs and in particular Retrievers & Weimaraners, his Greysouthen Kennel has produced numerous Australian & International, Grand & Supreme Champions amongst them MBISS Aust. Grand Ch: Greysouthen Kings Legend ET QC TD, a multiple All Breeds Best in Show and Royal Show winner, a prolific sire, an accomplished Field, Tracking and Endurance dog and arguably one of the finest all-round Weimaraners bred in Australia in the last 25 years. Along the way, Peter has exhibited, handled or titled a number of other Gundog breeds, including Curly Coat, Golden, Labrador, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, & Tollers, Cockers, GSPs, English Pointers, Springers, Setters and Continental Gundogs. He also has an interest in Dalmatians, Great Danes, British Bulldogs & Standard Poodles. In recent years, along with his love of Weimaraners, Peter has concentrated on Flat Coat Retrievers and his current dogs are ranked as the top Flat Coats in Australia. For Peter, the progression to judging was a natural step. He has earned a solid reputation judging at All Breeds and Specialty Shows across most States of Australia, both islands of New Zealand & around South East Asia. He is a regular visitor to the Pacific region, and to FCI CACIB events in Europe, Scandinavia and The Baltics.
