Thank you very much to the secretary & committee for the invitation to judge so many breeds with good quality entries. I have never been to this show before. I found the show to be such a lovely atmosphere, very well organised & a very enjoyable day. The day was freezing cold, windy but dry (mainly). Thank you to everyone who entered dogs under me, I was truly blessed with some good quality dogs.
