I would like to thank all exhibitors for your entries considering the distance most of us had to travel. We had an excellent ring and great stewards. Most dogs were presented in good condition with very few overweight. My only regret is that we did not have two CC’s on the day, it was a difficult decision for me to choose between my winning dog and bitch as there was so little to choose between them and in my opinion both deserving of one.
