Wessex Border Collie Club

Firstly I would like to thank Wessex Border Collie Club for giving me the opportunity to judge your show. I would also like to thank the committee of Richmond Dog Society for allowing the show to be held in conjunction with the Richmond Championship Show after the Windsor Show was cancelled during the summer heat wave. The class entries remained the same as for the Windsor Show.  Thank you also to the exhibitors for entering.

Unfortunately the ground was uneven in places which reflected in some dogs movement.
