Thank you to the Crufts committee for inviting me to judge at Crufts this year also I would like to mention what an honour it was to receive such a high entry for my Crufts appointment Thank you to all those exhibitors who took the time to prepare & put their dogs under me. I had a very high quality of exhibits & temperaments of all the dogs was mostly exemplary. The majority of dogs under me were all well-presented & in well-muscled working condition there were some very strong classes & it was hard to have to dismiss excellent examples of the breed in some them just not enough cards to go round.
