Eastbourne & District Canine Society

First of all would like to say thank you to the committee for giving me the opportunity to judge Miniature Schnauzers and Schnauzers at their summer open show. It was my first trip to Eastbourne and District Canine Society Show, I had a great day and would like to congratulate them for putting on a well organised and friendly show. Also my thanks go to Anthea Eardley for her help and support as steward. 

I’d also like to say thank you to the exhibitors for their good sportsmanship, and bringing along their dogs on such a gorgeous sunny day.
