Leeds City & District Canine Association

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge and to all the exhibitors that entered.

A couple of exhibits were carrying a few too many pounds and this cost them in the final decisions. On the other hand there were a few who would of benefitted from a few extra pounds, being racy does not mean being to thin.
