to the Judge, Mrs. Diane Redfern (Rainster)
It was a privilege to be asked to judge at the Society Open Show, and to have such a lovely entry both numerically and in quality of dogs. Thank you to my ring stewards for keeping things running smoothly. It was very encouraging to see so many quality youngsters making things look promising for the future of the breed.
