Before I write my critique, I would like to say a big thank you to Hon. Chairperson Ms Lynn Morris, Hon Secretary Mrs Rhiannon Jones and committee for affording me the opportunity to judge at their prestigious breed Open Show. My thanks also go to my hard working stewards Hefin and Graham for their professionalism throughout the day.
Also thank you to the exhibitors who allowed me to put hands on their wonderful dogs.
