I’d like to thank the sponsoring clubs and the committee for inviting me to judge these three breeds. A thank you also has to go out to the two stewards for helping through the day where I was their third judge on a longer day. This was my first time attending this show due to location and it was a very pleasant day with ample space both in the sun and the shade. Good parking for the exhibitors and a friendly welcoming atmosphere made this very pleasant for me. To top this all off I had the pleasure of being able to judge these fine exhibits.
