My thanks to the committee for the invitation and for making me feel so welcome, & my two competent stewards. We were very lucky with the weather, a bright warm day but with a cooling breeze. Thank you to all the exhibitors for taking my decisions so sportingly and bringing such quality dogs for me to peruse.
