"I suspect I shall always remember my first time of awarding CCs in Newfoundlands! My thanks to all exhibitors for coping so well in the conditions with such great humour, my apologies for the brevity of some of the critiques, I was trying to ensure I got through the entry before time was called on the show.

Temperaments were excellent and I must congratulate everyone on the presentation of your dogs, I thought the standard pretty good, some tough decisions and some very good classes."
