This was Gavin Robertson’s first judging assignment to Barbados through an invitation by The Barbados Kennel Club. It was also the first All Breeds Championship Dog Show of the year<\/p>\n

The bulk of the dogs were from the Working Group and most of these entries\u00a0 were Rottweilers.<\/p>\n

I think most exhibitors who follow the UK show scene were aware and very impressed that the judge is himself an excellent handler and a very well respected breeder of Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen dogs and also a Best in Show winner at Crufts. He is regarded as a hound specialist and is approved by The Kennel Club to judge the Hound, Utility and Best in Show at Championship level.<\/p>\n

This show was sponsored by Roberts Manufacturing Co. Ltd. who have for a very long time supported dog shows and the dog community in Barbados.\u00a0 They are the manufacturers of\u00a0 Roberts Chicken and Rice Dog Food, Vitapet Dog Food and Vitapet Puppy Food besides a wide range of animal feeds and cooking products.<\/p>\n
