Eastbourne & District Canine Society

Eastbourne & District Canine Society – 25th June 2023

I’d like to thank Kerrie and the committee for the invitation to judge at the well run show. I thoroughly enjoyed my day. As the heat was so intense all day and there was no shelter I made the decision not to run the dogs at the beginning of the classes and I thank the exhibitors in accepting this decision.
