Manchester Dog Show Society

This was one of the nicest entries I’ve seen in a long time and I would like to thank exhibitors for making `my day so enjoyable. Thanks also to my two excellent stewards who kept events moving seamlessly. There were quite a few sloping toplines with steep croups and well angulated forehands with straight fronts were not always easy to find. Both the limit classes were closely fought and decisions had to be made on the day.
