Pat Trotter Bio
In the past 50 years, Patricia Craige Trotter of Carmel, California, has stepped into the Best in Show ring at The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show 11 times with her world-famous Norwegian Elkhounds. In June, Trotter returned for the twelfth time — as the 145th annual Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show judge.
Trotter fell in love with her first dog, a mixed breed named Queenie, given to her by her parents when she was a fifth-grader. Soon she was volunteering in kennels, walking puppies, showing cocker spaniels, spending every moment she could spare around dogs.
One day she saw some adorable dogs in a paddock owned by a man in the neighborhood. The dogs were Norwegian Elkhounds, and young Pat was smitten. She showed her first Elkhound, Candy, at the Tidewater Dog Show in 1950, and bred and registered her first litter a year later. Trotter made her Westminster debut in 1961, and basically never left
