HELP NEEDED
Update Feb 2020 :
Dane of The Year show dated 1961, 1963, 1971 & 1977
Do YOU or anyone you know, have a catalogue from the above DOTY shows ?
If so, would you be kind enough to donate the copy to Rick Day at the Great Dane Club of Wales.
Rick is building a library of catalogues of this prestigious show but is missing these 4 years.
One final request, Rick is missing a photo from the BIS winner of
1963 AMALIA OF ARANTON ( brindle ).
If anyone can help with any of the above, we would be most grateful as this is a hugely important piece of work.
Many thanks
