I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for the invitation to judge the whippets at their show, and thank you to everyone that entered. The cold autumn like winds didn’t bring much joy to some of the exhibits today but it didn’t detract from there overall movement, bites where all correct, and overall the general size was good - nothing over tall. And thanks to my stewards to braved the weather and kept all paperwork under control. Very pleased that both BOB & BPIB carried on to claim top spots in BIS
