Aberystwyth & District Canine Society

Aberystwyth & District Canine Society Open Show

1st October 2023

I would like to say a huge thank you to the officers and committee of the Society for inviting me to judge at their well-run show. The venue was good, plenty space for everyone, and despite a heavy rain through the day, there was a positive atmosphere. To top it off, we had a lovely cakes and hot food. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.

A special thank you goes to everyone, who entered their lovely dogs under me, and to my stewards for the support and smooth running of the ring.
