Bournemouth Canine Association

Bournemouth Championship Show Shetland Sheepdogs I would firstly like to offer my congratulations to the committee on putting on a first class show under such weather conditions and to my two very efficient stewards Alan and Charlotte who kept the ring running so smoothly . Also to the exhibitors, those placed and those unplaced, the dogs I have to say had amazing temperaments putting up with wind, rattling of tents, lots of noise & they all coped extremely well. Today I think tested all dogs as to how life on Shetland might be. I found no bad mouths or round eyes that would have altered the whole sweet expression, also no gay tails.
