Sutton Coldfield and District Canine Association

Members’ Limited Show

30th May 2026

This well-run show for its members can only happen with the hard work from the committee and helpers, it is held in a great place by the kind permission of the Neachell’s and they should be proud of this. The atmosphere is great friendly and welcoming, all the exhibitors support everyone, and are always clapping for the winners, which really helps the day.

I was honored to judge this friendly show, and thanks to everyone for entering and accepting my decisions with grace.

This is the grass roots of our sport, and it should never go and exhibitors should try and support any club that is willing to help new and experienced handlers. Thank you, committee.
