German Wirehaired Pointer Club

German Wirehaired Pointer Club Championship Show – Sunday 7th August 2022

Mrs Alex Newton (Layasway)

Having owned the breed for over 20 years it was a great honour to have been asked to judge at the GWPC Champ Show. I would like to thank the committee, especially my stewards, for organising the day so well and keeping the ring moving and many thanks to the exhibitors for a fabulous entry. In such difficult conditions, the heat definitely affected some of the dogs. I wasn’t willing to move the dogs as much as I would have liked, especially as nearly all had been in the ring already that day. That being said, I had some quality dogs and the temperament of the exhibits were excellent. Looking at my CC winners together made me smile as they were just what I was looking for.
