Critique 

I thoroughly enjoyed my judging appointment, which I consider an honour to have been asked, and would like to thank the committee for putting me forward, and club members for giving me the opportunity to judge some beautiful dogs, and for such a quality entry. Also my thanks to my two able stewards Jayne Tong and Rhonda Banks for making my day an easy one. Having not been around the shows for a considerable time, I enjoyed being able to judge the dogs with a fresh eye, and I found some really lovely quality dogs which I think bodes well for the future.
