"A day of two weather halves. Dogs in the wet weather tent never ideal for dog owners. But both handled the conditions and humidity well. Congratulations to both. Improving conditions took the bitches to the double sized ring and apart from a shower now and then, judging was completed outside. My thanks to my stewards for keeping things moving under difficult wet conditions.

Omitted from the critiques is coat condition, as some of the middle classes for the bitches were two two heavy showers. I decided to level the playing field with them in mind. In general all coats were in good condition although a few were down to the skin but i felt that the majority were able to repel water when required to do so."
