National Terrier Club

I was honoured and particularly delighted to judge at what is the UKs, if not the world’s premier Terrier Show. Overall, I felt that the quality was varied, but I recognise how difficult it is to get bone and substance in a small animal. Good to see lots of sound well moving animals.
