 MIDLAND CAIRN TERRIER CLUB

BREED CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW

Held at Sharley Park Leisure Centre, Claycross, Chesterfield

On Saturday 1^st December 2007

 

It was an honour to be invited to judge the MCTC Championship Show, my thanks go to the Committee for their hospitality and making me feel so welcome.  A big thank you also to exhibitors for the wonderful entry of 154 Dogs making an entry of 177, it was a great privilege to handle so many quality exhibits and thanks to the Stewards that did a sterling job.  I was pleased with the overall quality of the exhibits, in some classes I could have awarded a first prize to more than one, decisions were very close.
