Remembering James E. Frederiksen

The dog show community mourns the passing of respected AKC All-Breed Judge James E. Frederiksen, whose lifelong dedication to purebred dogs left an enduring mark on the sport.

Jim and his longtime partner, James E. Noe, became involved in the sport of purebred dogs in 1963. Together they bred and exhibited Collies under the renowned Two Jay’s Collies kennel name before later adding Shetland Sheepdogs. Their breeding program produced numerous champions, top-winning dogs, and influential producers whose impact on the Collie breed extended throughout the United States and around the world.

Beyond their success as breeders and exhibitors, Jim and James were active leaders in the sport, including service with the Collie Club of America, where one or both held several offices, including president. As highly respected AKC judges, they spent decades judging across the United States and internationally while mentoring aspiring judges through the East Tennessee Judges Study Group in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Jim was admired for his knowledge, fairness, and unwavering commitment to the sport. His influence will continue to be felt through the many breeders, exhibitors, judges, and dogs whose lives he touched.

The Canine Chronicle extends its heartfelt condolences to James E. Noe, their family, friends, and the countless members of the dog community who had the privilege of knowing Jim. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered.
