Thank you to the club for giving me the opportunity to Judge your show! I was very pleased with all the exhibits, you have some quality dogs here, which made my decision hard, a lot of promising youngsters (which I look forward to seeing in the future) All the dogs were in excellent condition – All were of good size, good bone, and substance and all showed beautifully, there was a lot to like! You all should be proud of your dogs.
