Judge: Ms D. Bartošová (Aldamity) [Slovakia]
Firstly, I would like to give thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge at their show. I must say it was a great honour and privilege, as this was my first Breed Club Open Show in UK. The venue was fantastic and we couldn´t wish for better weather then we had. A special thank you to the exhibitors that gave me a lovely entry of quality dogs and bitches and for accepting my placings. Also, thank you so much to my stewards who organized the ring beautifully and who made my day so much easier.
