Judge – Mrs Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)

I would like to thank the officers and committee for the kind invitation to judge at this well run and friendly show. Due to the inclement weather, all judging was conducted indoors, so a little cosy to start with, but lovely to see everyone just getting on with it and enjoying the show. I would like to thank the exhibitors for venturing out on such a miserable day, it was an honour to be able to judge your dogs. Thank you to the group judges for putting forward super dogs for BIS, an absolute pleasure to judge
