THE SOUTHERN IRISH TERRIER SOCIETY CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
OCTOBER 2ND 2010 - JUDGE ROBERT CRAWFORD
As a matter of principle I no longer take the main dog press, so it was interesting to come at this without any knowledge of the current crop of dogs. I found the quality of bitches better in depth than the dogs and it was pleasing to note that there were no general issues in evidence.
