Maria Turley (Eastreet)

I would like to thank all the East Midlands SBTC committee for making me very welcome, and for my lovely gift, also to all the exhibitors for their entries.

My ring stewards - Janet Higgins and Clare Ryan were fantastic and on the ball. Thanks to my co-judge Jason Piggot for making our final selections easier.

I really enjoyed my day and had a great entry.

I had some quality dogs which on the whole, were very well presented. Dentition was generally very good. A few loose feet, long nails, and soft pads were found in some of my dogs. The overall movement wasn't too bad. It was a long day for the dogs and owners and some dogs were showing signs of “I’ve had enough”!
