First I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge their well organised show and their hospitality. Secondly the exhibitors for giving me such a quality entry, so many beautiful bitches had to go cardless, another day could so easily have swapped places. I feel I have to make this comment, I was disappojnted to find some dirty exhibits. I had to wash my hands 5 times during judging, I find it hard to belive that we spend all that money on entries and fuel cost but can’t find the time to bath our dogs!
