Richard Reynolds is both proud and grateful for his appointment to judge working terriers at one of the top terrier shows in the country of origin of many terrier breeds. He was privileged to meet and evaluate so many dogs of the multiple breeds and their owners who preserve the working terrier ethic in the United Kingdom.
