Carol Hoskins – Group One & Two Judge GCCF Victoria Australia.

A member, and a Judge for the Governing Council of The Cat Fancy of Victoria Inc

My love of cats started in 1979 when I fell in love with, and purchased an Oriental Chocolate Spotted Tabby male kitten. As you do...

We successfully bred, and/ or our boys sired, many BIS, Cats of the Year and Royal Melbourne Show winners.

I was invited to join the Group Two training course under Mrs Beryl Chandler GCCFV in 1991, successfully completing this course, then on to complete my Group One licence under Mr Rod Uren FCCV in 2003.
