City Of Birmingham Canine Association Championship Show - 01//09/2018 - Dandie Dinmont Terrier

I would like to thank all the exhibitors who came with their Dandies, it is always a privilege for me to be asked to judge them. Overall the quality was there and movement mostly sound. There were a couple of exhibits with  incorrect teeth placement.
