Midland Bedlington Terrier Club

I enjoyed judging at this very sporting show. An interesting entry and some tough decisions. Generally I thought the breed to be in a good place. No common faults and plenty of good dogs. Interesting to see overseas loines blended with UK, and often with great sicecss.
