Tredegar & District Canine Society

Thank you to the very welcoming Committee of Tredegar CS for the opportunity to Judge at their warm and friendly show. I feel the majority of dog show folk feel the future of the Open show is on a knife edge with falling entries but with hard working and essentially pro active committees like this one there is hope!
