Open Show – 26/09/2026

Judge: Mrs Claire Parker (Albionpride)

I would like to say thank you to the Officers and Committee who gave me this opportunity to judge at their Open Show. The hospitality was second to none and the judging gift was truly unique and thoughtful. I would like to say thank you to my steward for the day who was excellent and kept the whole day running smooth. Thank you to all the exhibitors who gave me the honour of going over their dogs and all were presented in immaculate condition. On the whole the health of dogs has improved although I feel we are still lacking in wide jaws and open nostrils.
