Breed: Retriever (Labrador)

RETRIEVER (LABRADOR

This is my first time awarding cc’s in the breed and I honestly felt that I would find more than a few that I expected to be short on the leg. I delighted to say I didn’t, however what I did find is a few I would class as overweight. The day started off in rain and cold not what we would except in August.

I would like to thank my steward and also a few friends for supply us with warm coffee and cake during the day. Finally as the limit bitch class was being judged the Sun came out.
