Thank you so much for inviting me to judge the Border Terriers at the Oswestry District Canine Society Open Show. Thank you to Richard Nightingale and his wife for stewarding for me and keeping everyone organised.

Wow, the quality of the entries was stunning. It made some choices extremely challenging. There is a lot of up-and-coming quality dogs on the way. Thank you so much for entering under me and intrusting me to go over your dogs.

Thank you again

Kindest regards
