Manchester Dog Show Society

  MANCHESTER 19th January, 2019 

I would like to thank the Manchester Dog Society for inviting me to judge at their well run- and organized show. My two ring stewards were very efficient and kept everything in order and we finished well in time for the Group.  Thank you also to the exhibitors for entering so many lovely dogs under me and for accepting my decisions so sportingly.
