Erin is an Australian Cat Federation All Breeds judge is also a licensed All Breeds international judge for TICA (USA). She has been judging cats since 1998 and has judged in Australia, New Zealand, China, Philippines, Malaysia, USA, Argentina, Indonesia, Germany and in the UK.
She also holds an Australian National Kennel Club and FCI International All-Breeds dog licence for conformation and lure coursing and judges extensively in many countries throughout the world. With a passion for quality animals, Erin enjoys the opportunity to visit and judge both cats and dogs in many places. She holds a strong belief that we owe our animals the right to a healthy and comfortable life, so considers that while a truly beautiful show animal is a joy to the eye that animal must also be physically correct.
Erin has enjoyed showing many top winning cats under the “Quanmarra” prefix and has exported Oriental Shorthairs to the USA and Europe, with some of these cats achieving very prestigious wins, including All Breeds International Cat of the Year for TICA (USA) in 2000 with SGC Quanmarra Bonnie Prince of Pzazz. At home, the Quanmarra cats consistently achieved top awards until judging commitments and her role within the cat fancy, brought about the decision to cease breeding.
She is the President for Feline Cat Council of Queensland and is involved not only in organizing shows but in assisting in the management of the Council. This includes liaising with government both local and State and with public education. She is also a Tutor judge for training judges for FCCQ. When not at shows, Erin shares her home with two Maine Coons and two very evil Oriental Shorthairs and of course, the dogs. Other interests include cooking, gardening, reading, and meeting people.
