MANCHESTER DOG SHOW SOCIETY January 16th, 2025

IRISH SETTER

Judge; Henric Fryckstrand, Sweden

I would like to congratulate the hardworking committee of the Manchester Dog Show Society for such an expertly run and organized show. I really enjoyed my assignment and judging the Gundog breeds in the UK is the greatest of honour for an overseas judge. It was a sheer pleasure going over many beautiful dogs and I was delighted with my winners. A big thank goes to the exhibitors for entering their lovely dogs under me and sportingly accepting my decisions. My two ring stewards, Hilary and Gavin, did a great job during the day. Thank you.
