Philip has owned and shown all three size Poodles, enjoying great success both nationally and internationally. To date, he has owned, bred or handled 23 Poodles to their titles, and won:

CRUFTS BEST OF BREED 2000 and 2004.

His most recent achievement was to make-up Am.Ch. Carringtons Hurrah Hurrah 'Noah' into a UK Show Champion. The standards have always been his first love and are the size on which he has concentrated for the last few years, although intending to return to the Toy ring in the near future. Since 2000, Philip, as a Judge, also awards Challenge Certificates in all three sizes. As well as judging at Championship Shows, Philip has twice been honoured to judge at the British Groomer of the Year Competition.
