DO YOU WISH THAT THE KENNEL CLUB WOULD PUT IT'S OWN HOUSE IN ORDER?

Please Sign This Petition To Stop The Practice Of
Professional Handlers Judging Whilst Still Plying Their Trade

(I'm sure that you will remember a 'Professional Handler' turning up with a dog and getting BOB a number of times and the dog in this breed was not entered in the catalogue on these occasions. Tony Manning Editor)

Dandie Dinmont Terriers

Thank you to the show committee & officers of Boston for the invitation to judge this lovely show. Also to all those who entered giving a great entry including a number of new exhibitors. I was very pleased with my winners & was delighted to see my BOB shortlisted to the final 6 in the terrier group, & BD/BP taking PG2.

PD (1)

1 Kurg’s Hawkesmill Jefferson at Etsill, a lot to like, calm & collected. Good expression, strong masculine head. Rear angulation & shoulder placement as it should be. Crisp coat well presented. Nice topline & overall balance. BD & BP.

JD (1)

1 Eve’s German Dandies Tom Jones at Sylvanken, such a lovely expression. Good head, crisp coat. Elbows need to tighten coming forward. Pleasing masculine well presented boy.

PGD (4)

1 Sleight’s Bonnybeck Moonlight Bay, up to size dog. Crisp coat, holds topline on move. Nice expression. Strong chest with good length of loin. Slightly heavier in shoulder which could improve with less coat here. RBD;
