First of all I would like to thank Manchester championship show for inviting me to judge. I would also like to thank all the amazing exhibitors who entered under me I had the most fantastic entry in numbers and also in quality of dogs where classes were so big that a lot of very good exceptional exhibits were left uncarded but I must say what a wonderful choice I had. I can honestly say that the temperaments were so sound and and the exhibitors around the ring what all so very supportive to their fellow exhibitors which was lovely to see. My Best of breed went on to achieve gundog group 4 which actually made my day congratulations to all main winners and thank you all so much for entering under me I really did appreciate it.........
