Exeter & County Canine Society

A really lovely show with such a welcoming and friendly committee, they even ordered excellent weather, my thanks to my able steward who kept the day flowing.

Many thanks to the exhibitors for accepting their placings with good grace as I was the replacement judge, I wish the original judge a speedy recovery.
