"Many thanks to the officers and committee for inviting me to judge at their 50th anniversary show, and also for their hospitality. Also thank you to my very able steward Doug.

Although as is the current trend my entry was not numerically high, it was full of quality dogs and there was some very difficult decisions to make.

My Limit and Open classes in both sexes were full of quality with some very close decisions. The veterans were all in fantastic condition and I congratulate their owners, it bodes well for the future of the breed.

I am pleased to say I didn’t find any dogs with any eye problems."
