LONG HAIRED

 Presentation and coat condition in some cases left a lot to be desired. Temperaments without exception were excellent. Front assembly in some was very disappointing and a few very straight stifles are creeping in. I would like to thank my two very efficient stewards for their help in making it a very pleasant day.
