Bournemouth Canine Association

Breed: German Shepherd Dog

Thank you to Bournemouth Canine Association for the honour of Judging my beloved German Shepherds. Many thanks to the exhibitors for you support & entries. I had some quality dogs entered under me & in some classes I was splitting hairs, placings on another day could possibly be different.

Special Thanks to my 2 able Stewards Tina & Julia for keeping the ring running efficiently. 

Thank you to those sitting ringside for their encouragement & sportsmanship.
