Judge: Gudrun Brunnström

Breed: Retriever (Flat coated)

I would like to thank all exhibitors for entering your dogs under me. Big thank you to the show committee for inviting me. My first appointment in the UK and I had a nice day judging great temperament dogs with a lot of will to please. Many nice, clean heads together with perfect size and good balance. A bit of heads up for some high tails in movements. I was very pleased with all my winners.

I also like to thank my two lovely stewards Gemma Jacobs and Leanne Lindsay for making the icing on the cake on this amazing day!
