I would like to thank the exhibitors for accepting me as the last minute replacement judge at Hyde & District Canine Society and my stewards Mairi Austin & Cindy Hoskins for organising the ring so efficiently for me. I was spoiled for choice today with the quality of exhibits present in these breeds that I love. Thank you to everyone for your sporting attitudes and for accepting my decisions.
