THE CURLY-COATED RETRIEVER CLUB OF Great Britain OPEN SHOWSaturday 19th February at Featherstone and Hilton Community Centre, Wolverhampton.
Judge Mrs. Olwen Frances Ormerod. (Berryholme)It was an honour to judge at the first Open Show of the Millennium . I would like to thankmy Stewards, who did a superb job. The majority of the coats where of an excellent standard, the movement of a number of youngsters leaves a lot to be desired. I found a few Suspect mouths, which disappointed me.
