October 2015 Open Show. Lee Grogan Critique

Scottish Toy Dog Critique

Thank you to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge at your well run and organised show and for the most wonderful hospitality afforded to me. It was no easy feat getting to your show I had to travel from Ireland and had a show in between but I am so glad I made it in the end. I must also thank my super steward Sam for keeping my ring running so smoothly and to the exhibitors for their super entry. Wishing you all continued success.
