BPD/BOSPIS: Sewell's PATTISHAWL JUST SO RIGHT FOR KEMELSTOWE

BVD: Pickup's BENDALE TIME AFTER TIME

RBB: Burscough's CAN CH CHETCOTE RENAISSANCE AT KILFINAN (IMP CAN)

What a great pleasure it was to have this opportunity to judge at this show. Thank you to the committee and exhibitors.

Generally I thought the standard was good, although the younger dog classes could have been better. There were a lot of heavily coated dogs especially in lower dog classes and where changing coat found quite a few knots & all bites were correct.
