I would like to say a huge thank you to the officers and the committee of the Association for inviting me to judge at their well-run show. Attention to details, big rings, beautiful location and lovely atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed my day.

A special thank you to everyone, who entered their lovely dogs under me and my steward Emily, for running the ring smoothly and expertly.
