Paignton. Welsh Springer Spaniels

I was asked to take over Marion Waddell’s entry when she became unwell. It was good to see that she had recovered enough to return the next day and watch Gordon judge BIS. The bitches seemed to cope with the heat better than the dogs, a lot were flagging and not using their tails and I was quite forgiving of this on the day. Given the lateness in the day and temperature I have taken only brief notes, and tried not to keep the dogs standing or moving more than necessary.
