It was a privilege to be asked to judge for my local club, I thoroughly enjoyed my day. The show was excellently run and lunch was delicious, my compliments and appreciation to the hard working committee. Many thanks must also go to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to go over their dogs. I was very pleased with both the quality and quantity. It was lovely to see some new faces in the ring showing for the first time, I hope they enjoyed their experience and carry on in future.
