Puppy Dog (1 entry)
What a lovely class, they were a credit to their owners. All were presented in excellent condition.
I would just like to say a big thank you all the committee and all the exhibitors for making my judging appointment a day to remember, I really enjoyed myself and the exhibits did you all justice. I was very pleased with my winners as with all the exhibits. I would like to apologize for the lengthy wait for the critiques this being
due to illness and a faulty computer.
