Sioux Forsyth-Green – USA
Sioux was born in Southbury, Connecticut, and currently resides in Ivins, Utah and Cody, Wyoming.
She is the only child of the late great Bob and Jane Forsyth, who were world-renowned all-breed handlers and later international all-breed judges.
Sioux was born the morning after her mother went Best In Show at the prestigious Westchester Kennel Club. She was destined to be a dog person.
Sioux grew up helping her parents show dogs from a very early age. The “Blue Bird” was always bustling at the shows in the Northeast during the ’60’s, ’70’s and early ’80’s.
Many older Boxer exhibitors will remember the incredible Boxer happening in 1983 with Boxer Specialty Shows in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales, where Ms Sioux Forsythe-Green’s parents, Jane and Bob Forsythe, were among the judging panel.
It is an absolute honour to have their daughter, Sioux, judge the 2026 Boxer Association of Victoria Championship Show.
Sioux finished her first champion at the tender age of three, a Japanese Chin. But her first personal dog was a pointer given to her by her father at the age of 6. This sparked her love of the breed, which she carries with her today. She bred her first pointer litter at the age of 9 and has about 25-30 champions to her name, under the Grayarlin Prefix. She also showed many different breeds while growing up and as a professional handler.
For over 40 years, Ms Forsyth-Green has established herself in the dog world and has finished many dogs’ championships. She learned the business not only from her parents, but also from many well-known and respected handlers such as Mark Threlfall, Bonnie Threlfall, Richard Bauer, Paul Edwards,Terry Hundt, Ted Young and Peter Green. She has been invited to judge at Westminster three times, including the Working group for the 150th anniversary, as well as 3 National specialties and a Mexican Boxer National. She is slated to do a whopping 6 nationals in 2027. She is approved for the AKC Sporting and Working groups and is starting the Terrier group.
Sioux Forsyth-Green has juggled life as a professional handler, single mother, wife and business owner. She is currently working as one of the new, up-and-coming, well-respected AKC Judges.
She loves what she is doing!
