Jack Russell Terrier Club Show

Sunday 5th April 2026, I had the honour of judging the 'Special Award Classes' at the Jack Russell Terrier Club Show.
Delighted with the super dogs I had to judge
The photo shows the 3 class winners - note to self - not a good idea to try and get 3 terriers to behave for a photo!!!
A really lovely day
Crufts 2026

Sunday 8th March 2026 - CRUFTS 2026
WOW - what a day!
Taking Twix and Bolt
Twix won 3rd in Limit dog
Bolt was in Open dog, and delighted when he won the class. The day just kept getting better and better, as he went onto win the DCC & BOB.
A huge 'Thank you' to our judge Mrs Sue Aston (Tasa) a breed specialist.
He did me proud in the big ring, strutting his stuff in the big main ring
