Amélie Chaine ( Des Terres d’Armor )
Firstly I would like to thanks the East Middlands SBTC committee for inviting me to judge, I thoroughly
enjoyed my day . The hospitality shown to myself, my friend and her 4 years old son travelling with me
was wonderful. Taking such good care of us and so benevolent with us in every way. The venue was
lovely with a warm weather.
A huge thank you to each exhibitor who enterred their dogs and took all my decisions in a sporting
manner.
Thanks to my ring stewards , Claire Rogers and Debbie Saunt who organised the ring perfectly.
Overall quality was very good and i was pleased with most of the exhibits. There were a few faults,
mouths, structure…I found quite a few with tight bites .
