DDTC Open Show

Newchurch Parish Hall, Culcheth, 22nd April 2018. Judge: Mr Colin Powell (Bowtman).

It?s always nice to be considered for any club show and judge it. The officers and committee made my wife and I feel very welcome at the show. Atmosphere was good and exhibitors took their placings sportingly. I would like to thank all for entering their dogs under me, and my steward for making the show run smoothly. I wish the club every success in the future.
