Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge . Little did I know this would be my last time at a dog show for a few months . What a lovely show , very well organised and good size rings for the dogs to move around . My stewards were great they kept everything moving . Scottish hospitality did not disappoint. Stovies were a treat . The dogs were of an excellent quality , thank you for entering under me .
