The majority took my placings in a sporting manor to which I am very thankful for and my hard working stewards who kept things moving smoothly. Overall thoughts on the day were, the blustery conditions made some of the exhibits a little unsettled. The overall quality was better in the bitches than the dogs, this could be a worry as these are our future studs. There were a lot of short tails and the tail set seemed to be on the higher side. 1230.
