Thank you to the society for inviting me to judge and to the exhibitors for their entries.

Sadly the weather was not kind to us and we needed to use the wet weather accommodation, a lot of the dogs did not care for the going with long and prickly grass on uneven ground. Presentation was very good throughout although I felt some were a touch too heavy.
