Three Counties Ch Dog Show 11.06.23

I thank the committee for their hospitality and the invitation to judge my breed here today, although delayed by 3 years from 2020 due to covid, it was well worth waiting for. I had a lovely day and thank the exhibitors for entering their dogs under me, it was much appreciated. The Limit & Open bitch classes especially were a delight to judge with plenty of quality to pick from. My stewards were very efficient and made sure things ran smoothly so there wasn’t any unnecessary waiting around in the ring for handlers and dogs alike. I apologise for not moving exhibits in the ring as much as I would have liked, but I felt it unwise in the heat and I could assess movement individually without causing extra distress to the dogs. There was an option to move to the wet weather ring inside, but it would have been a shame not to use the large grassed ring outside as shade was available under the trees and in the bays for those waiting for their class.
