Bath Canine Society Championship Show
Saturday 24 May 2025
Judge: Samantha Mignano-Fricker (Calavey)

I would like to say thank you to the officers and committee of Bath Canine Society for giving me the pleasure and honour to judge my breed, Jack Russell Terriers at their Championship show, as well as their warm and welcoming hospitality. I had an enjoyable day with some lovely exhibits accepting my decisions with great etiquette. I would like to thank my steward who assisted the smooth running of the ring with me even though we suffered the cold and the wind – chasing after the paperwork on several occasions!
