NORTHERN PARSON RUSSELL TERRIER – OPEN SHOW 03/05/2026

My thanks to NPRT for the invite to judge their open show, an amazing atmosphere, so supportive of everybody. The main thing that blew me away was their outstanding kitchen led by Ann, I even offered the opportunity to move south to live with me and be my live in Chef. The quality of dogs was outstanding, and to be able to get my hands on such quality parsons was wonderful. My winners were of great quality, and in bitches competition was particularly strong with more than two in the final bitch line up that could’ve easily won top honours.
