Erin Brown - ACF (FCCQ) International All Breeds
Email: quanmarrasalukis@gmail.com Mobile: +61 407 116588 PO Box 111, Canungra, Queensland 4275 AUSTRALIA Closest Airport – Brisbane (BNE) or Gold Coast (OOL) Erin is an Australian Cat Federation All Breeds judge. She gained her Group Two
licence 2001, Group Three in 2006 and became All Breeds in 2008 and has judged
in Australia, New Zealand, China, Philippines, Malaysia, USA, Argentina,
Indonesia, South Africa, Germany and 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 Price of Pzazz. At home,
the Quanmarra cats consistently achieved top awards until judging commitments
and her roles within the cat and dog fancy, brought about the decision to cease
breeding.
When not at shows, Erin shares her home with two Maine Coons and one very evil
Oriental Shorthair and of course, the dogs. As well as her involvement in both
the cat and dog world, her interests include cooking , gardening, reading and
enjoying people.
