GERMAN SHORTHAIRED POINTER - Judge Norma Ellis NORMBAR

Thankyou to Driffield for giving me the opportunity to Judge this lovely breed. Some hard decisions made such was the depth of quality. Good sportsmanship prevailed making it a most enjoyable appointment. Well done to BOB bitch for her group shortlist. Not forgetting the icing on the cake was the stunning Best Puppy that showed her socks off to be awarded the Puppy Group. A group 3 was also won in The Special Beginners Group. Well done to you all.
