Thank you to all the exhibitors for there sportsmanship around the ring on this my first CC appointment in this lovely breed, I really enjoyed my day helped by lovely sunshine so we could use all the ring. Plus, two very efficient stewards. My only criticism is I did notice in a couple exhibits their eyes tending to be more round than oval, but on whole as a breed since I last judged the breed seems in good hands.
