I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge the Terriers at the above show, and also the exhibitors for allowing me the pleasure of judging your dogs. It was very hot in the hall and I knew that a few of the dogs had waited a long time to get in the ring but did not disappoint in the ring on the day. My stewards were very helpful and managed the ring very well thank you.
