Beagle Critiques 01-06-2023 Corrections Highlighted page 2

It was a real privilege and pleasure to judge a quality entry of Beagles. My thanks to the committee for the invitation and the exhibitors for allowing me to judge their hounds. I was spoilt for choice in many classes and had to make some hard decisions. My final line up was so exciting to see. Thanks must also go to my two very efficient stewards who kept the ring running smoothly.
