Open Show 2017

I would like to thank the committee of the EMSBTC for inviting me to judge my first breed club show in the UK and for looking us so well during the day. I was also like to thank everyone who entered under me and giving me the chance to judge your dogs. It was nice to judge in such a friendly warm environment and to see a good turn out of spectators. Thank you so much to my stewards for helping things run so smoothly.
