LABRADORS

Thank you to the officers and committee for inviting and giving me the privilege to judge at their lovely, well run show at a superb venue; I appreciated the efficiency and help of my stewards. I was really pleased with my quality entry. Thank you to all exhibitors who entered and gave me the opportunity to go over their lovely dogs. Most of the placings were very close decisions and in the larger classes I wished I could have awarded placings beyond reserve. Delighted to see my BOB take Group 2.
