First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Ben Regeer (Slamdunk)
I want to thank the West Midland Terrier Society Committee and Officers for inviting me to judge Border Terriers at their prestigious Premier Open Show on Valentines day 2026. I had a lovely day and really enjoyed myself. Very grateful to my stewards that made sure I could fully concentrate on the lovely terriers that were presented to me. Thank you to all exhibitors that entered their dogs under me. You all contributed to a great experience for my first UK judging appointment. (Ben Regeer, NL)
