IRISH WOLFHOUNDS.. LEEDS CHAMPIONSHIP DOG SHOW. JUDGE VIVIEN PHILLIPS,

24TH JULY 2022. I SHOULD LIKE TO THANK THE HARD WORKING COMMITTEE FOR ENSURING THE SMOOTH RUNNING OF THE SHOW.. I KNOW THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED MANY DIFFICULTIES PRIOR TO THE FIRST DAY SO CONGRATULATIONS ON OVERCOMING THEM.

I FOUND A VERY VARIED ENTRY AND SOME IN NEED OF RING CRAFT. I HAVE TO SAY THAT ON THE WHOLE COATS WERE WIRY AND HARD BUT MY HANDS WERE VERY DIRTY AFTER JUDGING AND WHEREAS I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT A BREED YOU WOULD PUT IN THE BATH, THERE ARE PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE USED TO PRESENT YOUR HOUND IN A CLEANER STATE TO THE JUDGE. I FOUND JUST ONE LEVEL BITE
