Melbourne Royal Exhibitor Update - Change of Judge

The following information will appear on the VCA Website today, and will be closely followed by an RASV email to all exhibitors.

CHANGE OF JUDGE - 2013 ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW

The ‘Dog Committee’ of the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria

announces that due to medical reasons, Mr Juan Carlos Vasconsellos

(Paraguay) has formally withdrawn from the Judging Panel of this year’s

Royal Melbourne Championship Dog Show to be held from Saturday,

September 21st to Saturday September 28th, 2013.

At such short notice the Society is delighted to advise they have

secured the services of Ms. Teresa Gallo (Argentina). Teresa Gallo is

a most experienced ‘All Breeds’ judge and while she has judged in

Europe, North and South America, this will be her first time judging in

Australia.

Ms Teresa Gallo will now judge the breeds as previously assigned to

Juan Carlos Vasconsellos.

Teresa Gallo started breeding Poodles in all the varieties, and has also

bred Lhasa Apso, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier. She has

imported stock from England, Mexico, Spain, Chile, USA, Canada,

Brazil, and other countries. Many of these dogs were Best of Group

and Best in Show winners in their own country and were brought to

improve each breed.

We certainly welcome Teresa Gallo to the 2013 Royal Melbourne

Championship Dog Show and we are sure she will enjoy this judging

assignment.
