Martin Hewitt


I have been involved in canine activities since 1977.

In conjunction with my wife, Wendy, we have bred Basset Hounds under the Hunterspark prefix since 1979 to the current day. We have bred and owned two Grand Champions in this breed

In 1988 we imported the first registered Foxhounds into New Zealand and bred several litters in that breed. One of the original imports became a Grand Champion

Currently we also own and breed Miniature Smooth Haired Dachshunds (Pentaki) and Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens (Beauvoir)

I have been actively involved in club administration and I am currently President of the Waimakariri Kennel Association and a Life Member of the South Island Hound Club, The Basset Hound Club (NZ) and the Canterbury KA

I was a founding member of the Supreme Show Dog Contest and currently Vice-President.

I am a former Vice President of the New Zealand Kennel Club and still serve on the Breed Standards Committee, Chair the South Island Disciplinary Committee and I am a Trustee of the Canine Museum.

Judging History :


I commenced judging in 1988 and qualified to judge the Hound Group at Championship Show level in 1993 and the Gundog Group in 1997.

It has been my privilege to judge my Groups not only in New Zealand but also in Australia, England, Scotland and the USA.

Some highlights for me have been to judge Basset Hound specialties in New Zealand, Australia, USA and England.

I am approved to award Challenge Certificates to Basset Hounds in the UK

I was also honoured to judge the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens, Grand Basset Griffon Vendeens and Springer Spaniels at the Windsor Dog Show (UK)
