I would like to thank all the exhibitors who entered under me. I had a lovely selection of quality dogs to go over & was notably impressed. All were shown in a clean, natural condition & not overgroomed Temperaments were excellent The quality of dogs in some of my higher classes made my decisions very difficult indeed at times. I enjoyed my day very much & this was down to the dogs presented before me & the atmosphere & sportsmanship in & out of the ring.
