Midland Counties Canine Society

Championship Show

22nd October 2026

Lagotto Romagnolo

I would like to thank Midland Counties Canine Society for such a warm reception. The hospitality was most appreciated. I would also like to thank my stewards for a job well done; stewards make the show run smoothly and are often forgotten. The dogs were presented in lovely condition. Thank you to those who gave me a lovely entry it was much appreciated, especially those who travelled from afar.
