British Utility Breeds Association

I would like to thank my two stewards who did a sterling job on the day. It was a shame the venue was so cold which on reflection, affected some of the dogs who weren’t happy and didn’t seem to be giving of their best. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my day and thank you for your entries. MPD A lovely class of quality babies. 1. Frenbosen Let it Be. Upstanding, well-marked, correctly balanced youngster.
