BITCHES
Thank you to the committee of Leeds Championship Show for their kind invitation to judge bitches, I thoroughly enjoyed my day and I very much appreciated everyone for allowing me to go over your lovely girls. I particular enjoyed my limit class, exceptional bitches at their peak so sorry I didn’t have enough places. I was also impressed by the number of up and coming youngsters, lovely to see quality bitches of all ages.
