Minehead & District Canine Society

Thank you to the committee for the invite to judge at your well-run friendly show. The indoor ring proved challenging at times for the heaver breeds and was a shame they could not be move outside. It is hard these days I know to find venues that allow dogs, and we have to make the best of it. A massive thank you to my two stewards Karen Herring and Shayne Barker who kept my ring always running smoothly, without wonderful people like you the show could not go on and I’m sorry you missed your lunch. And thank you it each and every exhibitor who entered your wonderful dogs under me.
