Utility Puppy Group - Liz Dunhill

This has to be one of the most pleasing puppy groups I have ever judged, practically every one a winner, such depth of quality, and so bright for the future. I congratulate all of the breeders and exhibitors on your babies today, this is what our sport is all about - great breeders and exhibitors. Without you all judges would not have dogs to judge. Enjoy every moment and the privilege of getting your hands on such quality. I will watch the progress of this gorgeous group of dogs. 

Congratulations one and all.
