ABERYSTWYTH & DISTRICT CANINE SOCIETY OPEN SHOW

MONDAY 2 MAY 2022

JUDGE: PAULA HILL – SANDAULA

A well run show from the small team of committee members, many thanks for asking me to step in to cover your show. I was surprised to find a lot of the gundogs who were not in hard condition. That being said, it was a well supported Group with plenty of choice. I was delighted to see G1 go RBIS, PG1 go BPIS and BV go BVIS and I thank the BIS Judge Ros MacDonald for thinking so highly of those that were put forward.
