Bath
Thank you to all the sporting exhibitors who supported me & my placings. A lovely breed & the depth of quality in the bitches was stunning. Bodes well for the future of the breed.
Some lovely dogs had to go cardless today, such was the hair splitting decisions I had to make.
Delighted with my placings & eventual CC winners. Thank you to my excellent stewards.
