Bitches
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at this
well run well organised friendly show. The new venue is a real find making my
assessments particularly of my blacks & chocolates much easier indoors than is
often the case. I also thank all the exhibitors who supported me with their
fantastic entries. I thoroughly enjoyed my day despite concerns before as it had
been more than 3 years since I last set foot in the ring as a judge! I was
totally delighted with my final line up, being spoilt for choice in awarding my
CC. At the end of the day I was blown away by both my gorgeous black CC winner &
my super yellow RCC winner who has since won her 3rd CC making her a Show
Champion. I was thrilled to get the chance to judge them.
