LONDON & PROVINCIAL COLLIE CLUB OPEN SHOW 28TH AUGUST 2015

A big thank you to the committee for inviting to judge at their well run and friendly show and for looking after me, thanks to my stewards Gina Stillwell and Paddy Hendrick for keeping the ring running as smoothly as possible in the rain, and most of all to the many exhibitors who braved the wet weather to bring their lovely dogs for me to judge and for their good sportsmanship in accepting my decisions.

I was very disappointed with the lack of dental hygiene in a lot of the dogs, but overall presentation was very good.
