SOUTH WESTERN TOY DOG CLUB secretary Mrs Suzy Tanton has e-mailed to say that schedules for the club’s open show on Sunday March 21 were delayed as their printer, Pat Harris, had a nasty fall (in the snow, I believe). Due to the delay in getting the schedules out to members, and those who have requested them, the closing date has been extended until Wednesday February 10.

This year, for the first time, the show will also schedule JH classes, with trophies kindly donated by Dartington Crystal; the judge for these JH classes is the Crufts 2009 JH, Shannon Roberts, and winners will qualify for Richmond.

The SW Yorkshire Terrier Club is also supporting their entries at the show, where Shena Turnock will judge the breed. BIS will be judged by Steve Rooney (Yorone).

If you would like to find out more, or to obtain a schedule, you can contact Suzy by phone on 01805 625512 or by e-mail at suzytanton@btinternet.com

In her e-mail, Suzy also mentioned that Irene Jennings had ‘also broken her arm’ – and sends both Pat and Irene good wishes for a speedy recovery.
