Special Awards Classes

 

My thanks to the Officers and Committee for this appointment and the hard work that everyone put in to make this show a success. Thank you to those of you who supported me on the day trusting me with your lovely dogs. The conditions were hard for the dogs who performed extremely well given the heat. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and the atmosphere which was so warm and friendly and I hope to see you in the show ring in the future.
