I was pleased to be asked to judge this well-run show. I had a lovely entry and some really good dogs had to take lower places than would normally be. All exhibits were shown in good clean condition and all had good temperaments. I would like to thank the exhibitors for their sportsmanship whilst waiting to go in the ring.  So once again thanks to all for attending.
