Judge

Miss Sharon McCormack (Flyngalee)

I would like to thank the SWGRC committee for their kind

invitation to judge dogs at their Championship Show. This

was my first appointment at awarding CC’s and committee’s

hospitality made the whole experience very special. The day

was immensely enjoyable and I am very thankful to all the

exhibitors who took the time and effort to bring their beautiful

dogs under me. I would also like to thank my two wonderful

stewards who worked so hard all day to keep the ring

running smoothly. There were a few incorrect bites which did

impact my decision in few classes but overall I was delighted

with my final line up and it was joy to watch them move

around the large ring.
