It is always a pleasure to judge Cockers and today was no exception.  There were some dogs of both sexes in the large well filled classes and sadly, it was inevitable that some really high-quality Cockers went home cardless.   Temperaments were excellent, so many breeds would have been unsettled with the noise from the neighbouring rings.  There was a lovely atmosphere around the ring and it was great to hear applause after each class.  Thank you very much for your support, good manners and sportsmanship.
