The Dalmatian Club Of Scotland held it’s Ch Show at Barony College, Parkgate, just north of Dumfries. It is a pleasant venue, with all of the required facilities available for exhibitors. I sensed a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, with generous applause at the conclusion of each class. Subsequent comments seem endorse this. Thank you to the Officers & Committee, and of course the Dog Folk, plus my two able Stewards, Bill & Jane Gregory for making this a great day.
