Many thanks to the exhibitors for entering and attending the show today, it’s not easy with a large breed at an indoor show and the ring, unfortunately, wasn’t as spacious as I would have liked, your entry was appreciated very much. Many thanks to my brilliant stewards Joe and Adam who kept the ring running so smoothly and efficiently.
