Originally I was appointed to judge Irish Setters, at last minute I was called in to judge the rest of the Gundog Group. I thank the exhibitors for your acceptance of my placings, sportsmanship and for bringing your lovely exhibits. I was spoilt for choice in this group and found it chock full of quality.
