Yorkshire Cocker Spaniel Club

I would like to thank the committee of Yorkshire Cocker for inviting me to judge my first breed show. Hats off to the committee for pulling off such a well run show when they were hit with a change of venue 2 days before the show. 

Thanks to Neil and Pat for keeping the ring running smoothly and all of the exhibitors for accepting my placing in such a sporting manner.

I had some lovely dogs to go over with hair splitting decisons in some classes. 

It's a shame i came across a few incorrect bites.
