Thank you to the Officers and Committee of URC for the invitation to judge this lovely, well organised show and to my stewards for keeping the ring running so smoothly. It was a large ring as usual for this show and the rain managed to hold off. Pleased to find a lot of quality emerging in the breed, especially the main winners and some very promising dogs throughout the classes too. As you know I’m in favour of a dual purpose dog and this is what I was looking for, a well made dog with natural working attributes. Thank you to those of you who understood and accepted my decisions with good grace. Lovely to see my Veteran choice awarded RBVIS by my fellow judge
