Bitches
What an honour to be invited to judge your own breed club championship show. I
had some lovely bitches to go over, thank you to the exhibitors for coming and
accepting my decisions. I found no bad mouths, great temperaments all day and I
know its winter but coats were all good and all presented in lovely condition.
A huge thank you to my stewards Huw and Katie for keeping the ring and I running
so smoothly.
A really enjoyed meeting and judging with my fellow judge Mr Beppe Masia from
Italy, he really seemed to enjoy his first CC appointment in the UK, and we
agreed on all our final placings.
I know what a great, hard working committee the club has but it’s nice to see it
from the other side and a big thank you for my lovely gift a real keepsake.
