The IOWCA holds 2 dog shows per year which are usually held on the non-group system, this was the first time in many years that the April show was run on the group system. I would like to thank the Committee for such a well organised and enjoyable show. I hope they decide to repeat the same system every year, with one show being group and the other non-group.
