Lois was born into a dog owning family in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia) and has continued that interest with passion! She grew up with Airedale’s and Cocker Spaniels. Moving onto English Setters, her parents imported dogs from the Iroquois Kennel of Lesley Allen Smith (UK). As the Dog Show Scene in Rhodesia, where she grew up, was small she helped other people handle their dogs and so her interest in the many different breeds of dogs started. After moving to South Africa, she was given a German Shepherd, helping handle the breeder’s dogs. 
After getting married, and moving to Amanzimtoti in Kwazulu Natal, she acquired her first Siberian Husky and has had that breed for the last 18 years. She registered the Kennel Name Sibra with the Kennel Union of Southern Africa. Her first homebred litter of Siberians produced 4 Champions.
After visiting America the first time, she fell in love with the Japanese Shiba Inu and is now the top breeder of Shiba’s in South Africa. She has combined lines from New Zealand, Australia, Holland and England, while the breed is small in number in South Africa the quality shines through.
Lois's first judging appointment was in 1976 and after moving to South Africa, she worked her way through the KUSA’s Breed Judges Qualifying Scheme and was recently approved to judge all breeds at championship show level. She has judged in South Africa and Zimbabwe. She judged Utility and Working Breeds in America in November 2006 at the Tennessee Valley Championship Show.
She also has a passion for Junior Handling having had two children take part, she and her daughter went to Crufts, and the St Patrick Shows in Ireland, enjoying every minute, marvelling, as so many do, at the quantities and quality of dogs. They also made many friends on these trips. 
Lois is chairman of Northern Natal Kennel Club, Provincial Council Secretary for over 10 years and is now Vice Chairman of the EXCO of KUSA.
