My sincere thanks go to the Officers and Committee for the kind invitation to judge at their open show, which was a great honor. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and appreciated the kindness and hospitality extended to me during my visit. My excellent stewards did a marvelous job ensuring the ring ran smoothly, and many thanks to the exhibitors who entered under me. I found some really good class winners among some excellent dogs and had the great pleasure of judging the wonderful baby puppy classes, which featured some
remarkable babies. I will be watching with interest in the future.
