Judge: Richard Lee (Kelrick)

Breed: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

I would like to thank the committee of the Royal Cheshire County Premier Open Show for inviting me to judge Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and my able stewards who kept the ring running efficiently for me. I would also like to thank all the exhibitors who allowed me to go over their dogs, I appreciate your attendance and sporting attitudes. It was a lovely sunny day interspersed with occasional heavy downpours of rain. The show was very well organised and had a super atmosphere.
