It was an honour to be invited to judge at this most prestigious of shows and I was delighted to be rewarded with a super high quality entry. However with such an entry many excellent, well deserving dogs remained cardless, I would like to thank each and every exhibitor for their entry, I know you came from far and wide and hope you all enjoyed the day as much as I did.
