Birmingham Dog Show Society Ltd

National Dog Show

5th May 2023

English Toy Terriers

I would like to thank the Officers and Committee for the invitation to award my first set of Challenge Certificates at this show. This is one of my favourite shows that I have been attending for many years but this year was so special due to the King's Coronation. The atmosphere was just different to a regular Championship Show and there were so many parties and celebrations in the benches and ring side. The society itself had really gone to town with decorations and even a TV screen for people to watch the coronation live. I had two fabulous stewards who made my judging and my ring run smoothly.

Overall I was very happy with the dogs entered, slightly disappointed in more than one dog that would not allow me to even go over it. Size and shape differed somewhat but found some worthy winners.
