"I would also like to thank all the exhibitors for bringing their dogs to Bournemouth which is, we all know almost the furthest point South, thank you for giving me the chance to judge your dogs, I have to say every single dog was presented in the best condition possible thank you. I would also like to thank my two stewards who stayed with me through all three breeds a really lovely couple who kept me up to date and had the exhibits at the ready all the time.

My first appointment awarding CCs in this breed and one of the most enjoyable to date. My BOB made the cut to the final six under Robin Searle and my Best Puppyy took PG1 also under Robin Searle, what more can I say other than congratulations to both dogs, a really exceptional effort by both."
