I would like to thank the WKC for the invite to Judge my lovely breed at this beautiful show, it’s been my ambition to judge here for a long time due to my Welsh heritage, I haven’t been around a Samoyed show ring for one year, so haven’t seen a lot of the dogs that are shown now. I did notice one or two that needed a better bath, it was a Championship show.
