Worcester & Malvern Canine Society

Firstly, I’d like to thank the officers and committee for inviting me to judge chow chows for their January open show. The show was very well organised and ran very smoothly. I’d also like to thank my steward Andrea, for looking after me, it was nice to have a friendly face for my first appointment. Also thankyou so much to all exhibitors for bringing your dogs under me and battling the elements to get there. I had beautiful dogs to go over and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. Puppy (1,0) 1.
