Thank you to the society for the appointment and to all the thoroughly sporting exhibitors who equally celebrated all placings on the day and supported each other. I'm sure some of the handlers weren't impressed at the time when their dogs jumped up at them or broke into a canter when in the ring, but for me it was so nice to see this happy breed being just that, all dogs being free standing, eager and willing to please, much preferable to rock solid statues.
