Judge Andrew Gullick

I would firstly like to thank the officers & committee of the Birmingham & District Fox Terrier Club for this invitation to judge at your club show. The atmosphere felt so very warm & friendly upon arrival. I was spoilt for choice in Smooths with some excellent dogs to go over, coats and presentation in Smooths was excellent across the board, as was temperaments, a sparse entry in Wires in comparison but was grateful for those who had made the effort to prepare theirs for me to judge.
