Michelle Yeadon and Doug McIntyre coming from opposite ends of our country to judgie our special Baby Puppy Competition, Michelle also judged Junior Handling and did a Bulldog Sweepstakes.
Thank you Greg and Theresa Chan for bringing Penny the 2026 Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show winner, it was wonderful for so many who may never have seen her in real life, to have her with us on Saturday and celebrate a Canadian Bred dog, and her breeders.
We had wonderful ring stewards who kept everything on time, Kerrie-Lyn Taylor, Raymond Yurick, Joy Lynne Huntley, Allison Alexander, Kristi Francis, Doug McIntyre, Michelle Yeadon and Heather Langfeld.
Thank you to Vickie @ MJN Show Services for all you do for our club at the show and throughout the year. Steve Dainard did an incredible job as show superintendent. Wendy and Shelby Reyn our official photographers for the gorgeous photos you took for our exhibitors.
Thank you to Colin Brownlee, Brad & Christina Heard, Graeme Burdon, and Dillon Conod for being there Wednesday and Sunday.
We would not be able to put on events if it was not for Richard & Bev Brown and their team, they are simply the best to work with in setup, take down, there all day, and watching over your dogs at night. As well, somehow able to do judge pick ups and delivery to the airport, simply amazing people.
Matt Garrason your lunches were simply amazing spoiling all of us, the judges loved each day. The thought put into an Olde York (Toronto) themed menu, was incredible. Nate Scarpino you made the judges tables beautiful.
Jeff the new manager of the Lindsay Fairgrounds is wonderful and has big plans for improvements in the venue, Thank You. A heartfelt sincere appreciation and gratitude to all of the sponsors who made the show incredible. Finally, as we close our 2026 show, we look forward to welcoming a talented group of well respected dog judges all contracted through 2029.
We look forward to seeing everyone March 25, 26, 27, 28, 2027 in Lindsay. If you require specialty or booster information for the coming years, reach out and send an email to [email protected]
