I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge and a big thank you goes to my two stewards who kept everything running smoothly in the ring. I had some quality dogs to go over and in a few classes I had difficult decisions to make. I must thank all the exhibitors for taking time out in the week to show under me, it really made my day. Final note, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the challenge for Best of Breed was between my two veterans, they obviously should never be under estimated!!
