Liverpool Terrier Club

LIVERPOOL TERRIER CLUB-8TH October 2023

This was a friendly relaxed show with a lovely atmosphere so well done to Shauna Fryer for pulling this together and creating such a pleasant environment. We terrier folk need to do a bit more to support these shows. They are a very good training ground for young dogs, their owners and judges and are also a relaxed friendly day out with like minded terrier folk.

A big thank you to Angela Cooke who stewarded tirelessly all day and kept everything moving very efficiently.
