British Manchester Terrier Club

THE BRITISH MANCHESTER TERRIER CLUB OPEN SHOW

I would like to thank the BMTC stewards and committee for looking after me and for the members for giving me the honour of judging their open show.

All exhibits had excellent temperaments and correct dentition 

Low entry in the puppy and junior classes which isn’t good for the future of the breed hope this improves this year
