Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

03/12/2022

May I start by saying an appreciation to the Society for inviting me to judge Cavalier King Charles Spaniels at today’s show. I was well supported with an entry of 23, and I was delighted for my 1st Cavalier appointment to have this wonderful opportunity. Everybody was in good sporting manor towards one another and showed with a lovely atmosphere. I would like to Thank The Exhibitors for supporting me, and the lovely comments on how I present myself whilst judging with kindness and gentleness. Could I also give thanks to my steward of the day, Mrs Sheila Hindle who was helped by my daughter Amelia. Both did a wonderful job keeping the ring flowing in a professional timely manner. Finally I must mention the hard working team in the kitchen who go above and beyond looking after us throughout the day with delicious meals, snacks and drinks.
