Bon Accord Kennel Association Saturday 10th January 2026.
My thanks to the committee for the invitation to judge at this popular show . Glad to say although for a couple of days it snowed quite badly the roads had been cleared well . We had no trouble getting to the venue . My thanks also go to the exhibitors for your valued entries. At the time of this appointment as you all know I was struggling with my hearing something which also caused me eye problems, something which as took three months and a couple of hospital appointments to sort out which as caused me to not be able to do this sooner.
