I would like to say what an honour it was to judge at this lovely run Championship show, I really enjoyed my day, I had some high quality bitches and in many classes placings were hard to decide. I would like to thank the committee very much for their hospitality, also the exhibitors for their entry and support. I would also like to thank my wonderful stewards for all their help in making it run smoothly. I found mostly that movement was good but that some moved a little wide at the front or was flinging a leg. I pulled out a few for the top honors due to the quality of the bitches.

Thank you to my co-judge David Nightingale for the friendly relaxed discussion on our overall winners.

BOB was awarded to: Woodley’s – Sh Ch A Sense of Pleasure’s Yvli At Alkhamhurst and I heard later that she was short-listed in the gundog group – well done.
