5th September 2013 The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria (RASV) wishes to advise that it has appointed Ms Teresa Gallo of Argentina to the Royal Melbourne Championship Dog Show judging panel. Ms Gallo has extensive global experience as an ‘All Breeds’ judge and will judge all breeds previously assigned to Mr Vasconsellos of Paraguay. Ms Gallo has bred Poodles, Lhasa Apso, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier and has imported stock from around the world, including the UK, US, Mexico, Spain, Brazil and Chile. Many of Ms Gallo’s dogs have been awarded Best of Group and Best in Show. Ms Gallo’s appointment has been made due to the withdrawal of Mr Juan Carlos Vasconsellos. The Royal Melbourne Championship Dog Show will be held from Saturday, 21 to Saturday, 28 September 2013 at Melbourne Showgrounds. Should you have any queries regarding the change, please contact Julia Grainger of the RASV on +61 3 9281 7430 or at julia.grainger@rasv.com.au
