Championship show 

My sincere thanks to the committee for the invitation to judge dogs at their championship show. You are a fantastic committee, who all work so well together, showing real team workmanship. It was very humbling to receive such a wonderful entry, both numerically and with such quality. 

I had the pleasure of going over some lovely dogs, in some classes, I wished there had been more placings. 

Thank you to all who entered, also for the sportsmanship shown around the ringside. I also thank my two very able stewards for keeping everything running smoothly.
