East Of England Ladies Kennel Society

Thank you for inviting me to judge Dachshunds, and for all the exhibitors who braved the wind to attend! A lovely day and some very exciting dogs to judge. The wind seemed to put a few exhibits off when the tape started flapping around, but majority of dogs coped well following covid restrictions not being out much. 
Thanks to my two stewards who coped well in the wind with everything blowing off the table.
