Denis Turner

I have been involved in the cat fancy since obtaining my first Persian cat in 1959 and starting out as an exhibitor.  Things progressed from there and I became a Group 1 judge in 1973.  Now I am totally submerged in Cat Affairs.

I have judged consistently in all States of Australia and often acted as an examiner for other Controls, as well as judging extensively in New Zealand, Malaysia and the USA.

Over the years I have bred/owned Persians, Exotics, Siamese, British Shorthair, both Cornish and Devon Rex, Manx, Scottish Fold and I am soon to be owned by a Bengal.

Currently I am President of The Ku-Ring-Gai Cat Club (Longhair),  foundation member of the Longhair Cat Association, foundation member and Patron of the Himalayan Cat Club, President of the NSW Cat Fanciers' Association, Publicity Officer & International Liaison Officer of the CCCA, Tutor Judge and Examiner for the NSW CFA in Group 1, and Chairman of the Group 1 Breeds and Standards Committee, as well as Liaison Officer to the Domestic Animals Committee of The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW.

Apart from my association with cats over the years I have also bred Great Danes, Afghan Hounds, Schnauzers, Griffons, and Dobermans, which I still actively breed.

Landscape Design and gardening are passions of mine and I am currently re-creating 7 acres of Victorian gardens which surround my home.
