Bournemouth Canine Association

My sincerest thanks to Sally Duffin and her Committee for extending this very kind invitation to judge this breed for the first time at Championship Show level. I was very pleased with the size of my entry which compared favourably against other championship shows this year. My eternal thanks to my fantastic stewards - Deeana and Christine who kept the ring running with seamless efficiency. Most of all - thank you to all those exhibitors for bring your dogs forward for my consideration. I thoroughly enjoyed my day. My criteria was a sound, fit for purpose dog that could work in the field all day - free from exaggeration. I found that in my top winners.
