East Anglian Collie Association Champion Show

1st August 2021

I would like to say a Big thank you to EACA for giving me the opportunity to judge SAC at their Champion Dog Show in August 2021

I was overwhelmed by the amount of people allowing me the privilege to go over their dogs. It was an amazing realization into the variety which was such a great experience. I learnt a lot in the world of Collies Rough and Smooth

Thank you.
