"Joint Golden Retriever Clubs' Championship Show"

Joint Golden Retriever Club Championship show, September,10th, 2023

Golden Retriever, males Judge; Henric Fryckstrand Sweden

It was a great pleasure to judge at this most well-organized show held at the KC building at Stoneleigh supervised by the professional secretary Nadine Barber. Everything was smoothly run and my two excellent stewards Vicky Clarke and Marc Wheeldon made my day very easy. Hospitality was second to none. I would like to thank the exhibitors for sportingly accepting my decisions. I was very happy with my line up. Movement overall could be improved, having said that we encountered a heatwave with 30 degrees but all my winners moved well despite the weather, My co-judge Roy Maynard and myself were in total agreement for BEST IN SHOW.
