Midland Counties Airedale Terrier Club

Open Show

Sunday 9th February

I would like to thank the committee of the Midland Counties Airedale Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their show for a second time. I enjoyed it immensely and the exhibits were of high quality even the Relatively new exhibitors. One class I found satisfying was Baby Puppy just letting a judge go over them without any pressure must be good for their development.
