AIREDALE WINDSOR 14 Mrs M S Ward BEST OF BREED : 2576 FERNANDEZ, Mr M F & PURNELL Mr C J Muliebrity Rilletta JW Sh.CM AIREDALE JUDGE WINDSOR 14 Airedale Terriers A lovely entry with few absentees & good stewarding helped keep things moving, although threatening to rain the weather was kind, but it was unfortunate some of the exhibits were distracted by the overhead planes, was impressed by the quality of the bitches, this bodes well for the future of our breed, rear action had improved but feel there is still more to be desired in front movement.
