Dundee Canine Club

Terrier Group

I would like to thank the Committee for inviting me to Judge this group, all except the Smooth Fox Terriers judged by Antonina Clement. I must thank my steward she was an excellent help and kept me on the right path especially when we were both so cold due to the weather outside. Thanks also go to the exhibitors that turned out on such a cold day I had the pleasure of judging some excellent exhibits and could have changed placings numerous times.
