Judge Naomi Cowley 

I would like to start by warmly thanking the committee for their excellent hospitality and the smooth running of today’s event. It was a real pleasure to judge in such a friendly and well-organised environment. I would also like to congratulate all exhibitors on the quality of the dogs and bitches presented today. It was evident that a great deal of care, preparation, and dedication has gone into bringing these exhibits to the ring. The standard of breeding and presentation was impressive, making my role both enjoyable and challenging, and I sincerely appreciate the effort shown by all and their good sportsmanship.
