Windsor Dog Show Society

Breed: Newfoundland

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at Windsor this year, I judged Briards, Newfoundland’s and Whippets and had good entries in all three breeds and lots of quality exhibits. I was very well looked after for three days and had a very enjoyable time. Windsor is not an easy show to get to and I know some exhibitors had long journey’s to make and I thank all exhibitors for their entries.

Best Veteran and pleased to see her be awarded third in the Veteran group, well done.
