Northern Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Society

I would like to thank the Northern CKCS Society for the invitation to judge their November open show. It was an honour and a privilege to be given the opportunity to judge the breed which took me into the world of dog shows more than 40 years ago.

Thank you, to the hardworking committee for you r time and commitment to ensuring the shows run efficiently . Also to my two stewards Sue Smith and Mary Constable who were super efficient and for making my day run smoothly.

Finally my appreciation to the exhibitor's for the wonderful entry of beautiful Cavaliers ,a breed that will forever remain close to my heart
