English Toy Terrier (Black & Tan) Club

English Toy Terrier (Black and Tan) Club Championship Show

7/11/2026

I thoroughly enjoyed my day with the English Toys. It was a really lovely entry of 76 with very few absentees, it did provide me with plenty of choice. I was greatly assisted by an excellent steward, thank you Richard Burdon. As always, there were some rather gay tails evident on the move and a small number of exhibits displayed a “tucked under” outline. I noted a couple of incorrect bites. Some of the exhibits could carry a fraction more weight to advantage. Please be careful not to lose the distinctive thumbprints and pencilling. Lots of gleaming, glossy coats which were a real pleasure to handle and very importantly, temperaments were excellent. Thank you all for your good manners and sportsmanship, it was appreciated. Some really promising youngsters in both the baby puppy and puppy classes were present today.
