Thank you to my excellent steward, Tasha for your efficiency and good spirit. Finally many thanks to all the exhibitors for your entries, staying the course and sportsmanship. I know the second show of the day is always tiring and the high temperatures made it even more so. I am aware that the conditions affected performance in some dogs and handlers. I was very happy with my final winners.
