Many thanks to the committee for inviting me and my efficient steward for her assistance and support. A very enjoyable appointment most of the dogs were new to me it was a strong, quality and competitive group. I was delighted my adult group winner the outstanding Finnish Lapphund went on to BIS and the very promising Shetland Sheepdog puppy group winner BPIS. My thanks to the exhibitors for the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions.
