My sincere thanks to the Officers and Committee for inviting me for my first Judging appointment at this very well run show. A special thank you to the hospitality team for a warm welcome and lovely lunch. Grateful thanks to my two stewards who were wonderful keeping the rings running. Thank you to all the exhibitors for your entries, allowing me to examine your beautifully presented dogs and for your sportsmanship at my choices, I had tough choices to make.
