2014 October Open Show

Dogs

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge this show and for the excellent meal.
I was surprised to find a few dogs with ungroomed and smelly coats but they were in a minority. I also had 1 male with a dubious temperament.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day and would like to thank all the exhibitors at this show for entering and allowing me the honour of judging your lovely dogs.
