I thoroughly enjoyed judging at this show. Weather was near perfect. Some lovely dogs who could change places. The low cloud seemed to keep the sound of the planes down which affected quite a few exhibits, that was a shame. Very nice to see Veterans looking and acting so young.
Thanks to my Stewards who kept the ring flowing and in good order.
