Ms. Ronda Bermke

MS. RONDA BERMKE of Greenleaf, Wisconsin has always had canines and the sport of purebred dogs as a big part of her life. She grew up participating in dog events with her mother and, apart from college life, has never been without a dog. Her first AKC licensed show was the 1979 American Shetland Sheepdog Association National Specialty held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin where she was entered in Junior Showmanship with her Sheltie named "Fella." Since then, Ms. Bermke has established her own kennel, White Ridge, located just outside of Green Bay, WI. She is involved and titled her dogs in multiple AKC sports, including conformation, agility, obedience, rally, scent work, and earthdog. In 2011 Ms. Bermke became an agility judge with highlights including the AKC Agility Nationals in 2016 and 2017 and the finals at the AKC Agility Invitational in 2019. This is her first judging assignment at Westminster.
