SDDTC Championship Show 2025 | Southern Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club

Stoneleigh Park, 28th September 2025. Judge: Mr Keith Derry.

I want to thank the Officers and Committee for Inviting me to judge the show along with the stewards who did an excellent job keeping me going.

Also, I thank the exhibitors for allowing me to handle their Dandies, always a pleasure. Overall, I saw no poor temperament, nothing which I thought was to the detriment of health in any way. Coats were in various stages, not surprising considering it is almost the end of the show season. Only one with dirty teeth.
