Coventry (Foleshill) Canine Association Open Show – 3rd November 2024

Thank you to the society for their invitation to Judge the some of the Toy Breeds and also for the warm hospitality I received. Thank you to the exhibitors for bringing their beautiful dogs and supporting the entry, also for the sporting way they accepted my decisions. I was delighted to stay and see 2 of my Best of Breeds do so well in a strong Toy group taking TG2 and TG4. Thank you to the Stewards Anna Roberts and Hayley Reynolds for maintaining a smooth running ring in an efficient manner. A very enjoyable day indeed!
