Blackpool Championship Dog Show
Crown Fields, Westby, 22nd June 2012. Judge: Mrs C E Cartledge.
What an awful day. I really appreciated the sporting way the exhibitors accepted not just my decisions but also the conditions. It was crystal clear the Dandies did not approve of these appalling conditions. The look on their faces when they stood on the table said it all. Movement was quite obviously impossible to assess.
