Firstly I would like to thank the exhibitors for braving the weather to attend this show and for the sporting way in which they received my decisions. I feel the breed keeps coming on in leaps and bounds and there is a definite raising in the level of evenness of quality and breed type in this breed, championship status can only be just round the corner.
