 OPEN SHOW RESULTS

Monday 21st April 2025

JUDGE – JULIA BATEMAN (CORMALLEN)

I would like to thank all the exhibitors for their superbly turned out dogs and I would also like to thank the committee for the invitation and making the show such a friendly one! The new venue was excellent and everyone seemed to have a lovely day. Thanks also go to my stewards for their efficient organisation. I did feel sorry for the English Springer Spaniel exhibits as they waited patiently for their turn (they were my last breed) and then it rained for them. Overall the quality of the dogs was excellent. I was very pleased with all my winners and my final line ups.
