Leeds - 29th July 2012
Thank you to the WELKS committee for their hospitality and welcome, and to the patient exhibitors. We had a long wait to get into the ring and due to the weather we had to judge inside although I am sure the dogs would have been just as happy outside getting wet.
That said, I had some lovely dogs to judge, general quality is good with some nice youngsters I look forward to hopefully seeing in the future. Very pleased with my top winners and my BOB did himself and the breed proud in the group
