I would like to thank the Officers & Committee for inviting me to judge my first Breed Club Open Show. Thanks also to my expert stew-ards, Colin and Ryan and all the exhibitors. A great initiative to combine the show with the inaugural Championship Show of the North East of England Toy Dog Society. It was a delightful entry with many quality dogs and some very close decisions, I had no nervous dogs and a pleasure to judge two Baby Puppy classes.
