Midland Counties Labrador Retriever Club

Midland Counties Labrador Retriever Club Open Show 

 Saturday 5th September 2026 

 I would like to thank the Committee for a warm welcome and well run show in their new venue. The stewards were highly efficient and kept the ring running smoothly. Following the catalogue we ran through the classes and judged Best Dog and Bitch at the end. I felt that this maintained the show’s atmosphere and encouraged spectator’s presence. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and appreciate the exhibitor’s entries. Thank you to the Committee for the minute’s silence for my father, Ian Dawson. He always thought highly of Midland Counties Labrador Club and their events, his presence was sorely missed.
