My sincerest thanks to the committee for giving me the honour of judging Dogs at this show. My thanks also to the exhibitors for giving me a wonderful quality entry and supporting my decisions. On the negative side I found some not so good movement which was disappointing, but loved my overall winners. My thanks also to my efficient stewards who kept it running smoothly.
