South West Utility Club

I would like to thank the committee of South West Utility club for their kind invitation to

judge not only the breed closest to my heart but several breeds that I have a keen interest in.

Many thanks to my two stewards Tracey Hill & Sarah Pym who kept the day moving at a

steady pace like a well oil machine, And lastly to all the exhibitors who entered their beloved

dogs under me and took my decisions in a sporting way.
