Darlington Dog Show Society Ltd

Thanks to the committee for inviting me and to the helpful and efficient stewards. Judging was later in the day (I did ask if a ring might be available earlier), so many thanks to the exhibitors who stayed after the partnership club show. It must have been a very long day for you and your dogs.
