Best In Show Welsh Corgi League Diamond Jubilee 1998

In 1998, we traveled to England to watch the Welsh Corgi League Diamond Jubilee show. It was only the second time a show of this kind was held as Jubilee shows are only once every 10 years. It was a thrill of a lifetime that our boy was deemed Best of Breed at this event judged by breed specialists Peggy Franks (Pengavin) and Margo Parsons (Deavitte).
