2nd BOTHLYN INDIGO BLUE AT WISTEX (MRS A STEPHENSON)

I thoroughly enjoyed my day meeting exhibitors & to catch up with friends I haven’t seen for some time. This will be my last judging appointment as most of the shows are so far away for us in Devon, traffic is getting worse by the day & therefore driving up & back the same day is near impossible, getting up at 4am is now out of the question.

 

I judged this breed 5 years ago & I was disappointed to see the deterioration in this lovely breed. I have put this down to the Lafora & I know Breeders have worked very hard to eradicate this terrible disease.

My BOB has sired so many of my winners so I can see the light at the end of the tunnel & this was the type I was looking for.

Thanks to my two stewards Mr & Mrs D Howell.
