"First of all I would like to thank the Commitee for inviting me to to judge at the show. It was a great honour for me. The show was so well organized from the beginning to the end. I’m so lucky and happy for your friendship. My ring stewards were so kind and professional. Thanks!

This show was also particularly special for me because at the start we marked the memory of a great Newfoundland person, judge and personal friend, Mr Hedd Richards, who had recently passed away and who had been the founder and first Chair of the Club.

Thanks to all the exhibitors who decided to come and show the dogs under me. I was humbled and happy to see so many beautiful dogs. All dogs were so well prepared for the show and very nice presented. I also loved the temperament and soundness of the dogs, like a Newfoundland should be.

Many thanks for your sportmanship. You took all my decicions very kindly. Dogs could easily have changed places on another day. I hope we meet again, you can easily compete with dogs in another countries."
