Eastern Counties Rottweiler Club

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge their Open show. I am very grateful to the people who stayed and waited for my judging after a long cold day! This did contribute to a lot of absentees. But I still had some lovely dogs to go over, thank you. Most bites were correct as were temperaments. Some A few of the Rottweilers dogs would look so much better carrying less weight.
