THE KERRY BLUE TERRIER ASSOCIATION OPEN SHOW – SUNDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2009
Holyport War Memorial Hall, Moneyrow Green, Holyport, Nr. Maidenhead. Berks. SL6 2ND.

I was honoured and delighted to be invited to judge the Open Show of the Kerry Blue Terrier Association.
I would like to thank the exhibitors for their entries and support on the day and my steward Tony Salmon.
Temperaments throughout were very good, pigment was, overall of a good standard.
