Some of her most prestigious accomplishments with her own dogs include National Grand Champion of Autumn Oaks, UKC World Bench Show Champion, and 2X Purina Nationals Champion.

Megan has held a UKC licensed bench show judge for 13 years. In response to her 2021 Autumn Oaks assignment, she noted: "I am very honored to have been assigned a part of the judging at this year's Autumn Oaks and I am looking forward to seeing many amazing hounds in the ring!"

Amanda Alexander
Homer City, PA

I have owned and operated a Dog Grooming and Boarding Kennel business for over 16 years now. My Dad started my coonhound addiction by hunting his Treeing Walkers and I competed in the hunts, water races, field trials but found my passion in the bench shows. It didn't take long before I had Black & Tans, Blueticks, English, Plotts and Redbones and we continue on breeding, hunting and showing these dogs.

Autumn Oaks Bench Show Judge, Amanda Alexander

I campaigned and have won the first and second year of the Purina Bench Show race. I currently have the top winning English, Plott and Treeing Walker in AKC competitions. I'm an owner/handler and breeder/owner/handler of numerous breed winners at Westminster Kennel Club and AKC Nationals.

I have judged Bluetick, English, Plott, Redbone, and Southeastern Walker Days and State shows. Other major shows I have judged include the 2014 Autumn Oaks, the AKC World Show, the UKC Beagle World Show and the UKC Youth Nationals.
