Handling critique from Brenda Randle.
Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge these classes. Sadly storm Darragh intervened and there were some absentees, but thank you all for combined entry of 32!
Please watch corners , this applied to some, and walking between your dog and the judge.
Breed knowledge was good and in older classes points of the dog was fair.
