"I was thrilled to be offered this appointment, and counted the days until it arrived. A big thank you to the club and committee for giving me this opportunity to judge my own breed at a club show.

I was made to feel so welcome by everyone, and the show ran smoothly due to the hard work the club put in for a successful show. Thank you to my two gentleman stewards who did a super job. Hopefully we will meet in the ring again sometime.

I was happy with my entry of 48 dogs considering how some shows are suffering from low entry figures. Thank you to all the exhibitors that made my entry up today and for the work you put into the preparation in our breed - I myself know the hours spent getting them prepared for the ring. Overall, lovely quality entry of dogs for me, all dogs had the required webbed feet. When it came to both my line up of sexes, I was happy with my choice of class winners. I hope you find good use for the embroidered towel gifts that I and Brian designed and embroidered."
