Thank you so much to the committee for inviting me to judge at my home club. I had a good selection of quality dogs to choose from, and a couple I’d happily have in my own kennel. Thank you to my stewards Julie and Nicky for keeping my ring running smoothly and to the exhibitors for allowing me to assess their dogs, taking my decisions in a sporting manner.
