Judge Ann Hagger ( Fairfield )
It was a great honour to be invited to judge this lovely show at this excellent
venue only marred a little by the English weather that I bought with me.
Rain was the order of the day but as exhibitors you were very well equipped and
your ringside shelters were both dry and comfortable for yourselves and the
dogs.
I would like to thank the committee for putting on a very enjoyable and
well-organised show, which was enhanced by excellent stewards, and
photographers, which kept an accurate record of the day. The hospitality was
exceptional and our welcome was superb.
I was very pleased with my entry both numerically and in overall quality.
There were some excellent dogs that could win well in England and some of which
I would love to have taken home.
