I live just outside Oslo, Nor- way. I am a veterinarian by educa- tion, but currently work as a direc- tor for the Norwegian National Research Ethics Committees. I was fortunate to be born into a Sighthound family. My mother and I bred our first Greyhound litter under the Jet’s prefix in

1975. With no co-bred litters, there are now 200 homebred Greyhound champions with more than 715 champion titles around the world. I am proud of our bitch tailline with nine consecutive generations of Best in Show-winning internation- al champion bitches. Since 1987, I have been privileged to judge dogs in more than 90 countries around the world and Pharaoh Hounds in many of those countries. I have judged several Pharaoh Hound specialties, including Pharaoh Hound Club of America. I am the only judge to have officiated for the breed both at Crufts and Westminster. I particularly enjoy judging Pharaoh Hounds and often ask to judge them when requested to suggest breeds. SHEILA HOFFMAN I live north of Memphis, TN on
a number of beautiful, nationally ranked dogs. I am equal- ly blessed to have had the love and support of my husband and daughters through those years. My husband, Bob, and I have two grown daughters, Amber and Audra, son-in-law Matt and two precious grandchildren. We live close to our family in Phoenix, AZ and share our house with a Whippet and a Ridgeback. I am happily pursuing the next phase of my life as an AKC judge and am looking forward to giving back to a sport that I hold dear. I am currently licensed (regular status) to judge, Mastiffs, Basenjis, Beagles, Dachshunds, Har- riers, Ibizans, Irish Wolfhounds, Pharaoh Hounds, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Whippets, Golden Retrievers, Vizslas, Weimara- ners and Junior Showmanship. Presently, I am focusing on completing the Hound, Sporting and Working groups. ERIC LIEBES

I got my first pure-bred dog, an Afghan, in 1976 when I was in high school. I acquired my first Pharaoh Hound in 1983 and have been addicted ever since. I
Joan and I live outside of Colo- rado Springs with our three Samo- yeds, two Komondors, a Greyhound and an Ibizan Hound. I retired last year after 30 years with Chevron as a geophysicist, sometimes doing oil exploration, sometimes research. I got my first dogs, an Ibizan and a Komondor, in 1981. The Ibizan got his Champion and CDX titles, the
