Thanks to the committee for the kind invitation to judge Cornwall’s prestigious gundog show. I had a lovely day with plenty of quality dogs to assess. Thanks to my stewards who were very efficient. It was such a shame the rain came down in time for BIS, so we relocated to the shed where some dogs didn’t like the ground that much and movement wasn’t as positive as outside.
