KC Breed Standard

KBTA Ch 17 Judge

Kerry Blue Terrier Association held a Ch show where BIS was Ch Torum’s Cairo Fred; RBIS, Int/It Ch Dandy Black And Blue Just for Balboa; & BP, Ballybaloe Athena at Lemracdream.

I would like to thank the officers & committee for the invitation to judge their annual Ch show during their 70th anniversary year, indeed an honour. Before judging commenced, a minutes silence was held in memory of the late Pat Munro who in fact was Secretary the last time I judged for this association. My specials thanks to the exhibitors for a lovely entry, to my steward Tony Salmon for keeping the office in order & to all those in the kitchen for a lovely lunch. Temperaments were excellent & all well presented, some very promising youngsters on display which bodes well for the future.
