Rough Collie Bitches

It was a great pleasure to be invited as stand in judge for Bitches at this show when, owing to ill health, the scheduled judge could not attend. I'll take this opportunity to wish him well and hope he is on the road to recovery. I would also like to Thank the Officers and Committee for their welcome and hospitality and also the exhibitors for their kind and sporting acceptance of my decisions. It is only their attendance which makes the show.
