Driffield Championship Dog Show

Many thanks to the Driffield committee for the opportunity to judge this lovely breed. I had a quality entry and it was rewarding to see so many special beginners entered. I did note a few suspect mouths, and overall presentation was good, just a few were untidy underneath. A big thanks to my excellent stewards Pauline & Ian who kept everything running smoothly
