The Australian Terrier Club of Great Britain
Championship Show 17/07/2022
Judge Mr. Colin Powell.
It was an honour and a pleasure to be asked and judge this show, entries are small which gave me a break from my own breed, with today’s economic climate the entries are falling in all breeds across the board. The dogs I judged were of quality and of good breed type and also nice to judge some of the older ones I’ve judged before. Weather was hot but the room was comfortable for the exhibitors and their dogs. Would like to thank my steward Peter whom made the show run smoothly and we were finished in good time, so not a real problem with the heat on the day. J/B (1a) and then nothing till L/D
