I would like to thank the exhibitors for such a fabulous entry, unfortunately quite a few absentees in bitches, which could be expected with coats and seasons. I found temperaments excellent, a few level bites and some dirty dogs, which I am surprised about, as usually the presentation is excellent in this breed. I was extremely happy with my class placements and was thrilled to see my BOB take the Group and then go on to take Reserve BIS. Congratulations.
