Exeter & County Canine Society – Open Show – Saturday 15th September 2018

Judge – Mrs Kelly Lee (Kelrick)

I would like to thank the committee of Exeter & County Canine Society for inviting me to judge at their open show, my stewards Colin Wills and Caitlin Tree who organised the ring efficiently for me and the exhibitors for their attendance and sporting attitudes. I was delighted with the large entry and very pleased to see Cavaliers with such lovely happy temperaments in the ring. This show was very well run and the exhibitors were extremely friendly and welcoming.
