I had a very warm welcome on my arrival, good company, a superb lunch. Thank you so much it really made my day. I found a large percentage of the exhibits a credit to there owners, and I’m sure places will change during the season.
There was a variety of types for me to go over, in general coats were excellent, temperaments superb, a few gay tails, soundness outstanding, also sportsmanship of a high order. I was delighted with my winners especially the puppies.
My visit will be one to remember in the year ahead. Thank you all so much.
