Leeds City & District Canine Association

Thank you to the Officers and Committee for inviting me to judge at this lovely show. Thank you to my two stewards Philp and Liz for a wonderful day , I was very pleased with the overall quality of the entry and faced some difficult decisions. My thanks also go to all the exhibitors for accepting the results so sportingly. The wind, together with the undulating ring, affected some exhibits, particularly when moving away and returning.
