Many thanks to the exhibitors for turning up on a wet day with what for many was a long journey.   I was so pleased that although the entry was relatively small the quality of the dogs was high.    I was more than thrilled when my three “bests” went on to win their respective groups, all under different judges, well done.  I did feel sorry however for the owners of a a number of dogs  obviously unsettled and not showing to their best, the noise from the fight and chaos a few rings over contributing to that I am sure.
