BORDER UNION CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW 18TH JUNE 2023

TIBETAN TERRIER Judge: Adam Ashby (Togepi)

Firstly, I would like to thank the officers and committee of Border Union Championship Dog Show for

inviting to judge at this well-run show, also for my stewards who did an excellent job of keeping the

running order of the ring flowing. And of course, a massive thank you to of all exhibitors who entered

their lovely dogs under me, I had a most enjoyable day judging. I did find the quality of dogs very

high and in some classes, it was a case of splitting hairs between the winners. It was a very hot day,

and some exhibitors and dogs did struggle in the heat, but I was very pleased with my placings.
