Richmond Championship Dog Show

May I first of all thank all the exhibitors who entered under me for waiting so patiently for our ring to become vacant on this truly challenging day. I have no idea how you all managed to keep your dogs clean and dry under those dreadful weather conditions! Well done to all of you!! I hope I managed to give all the dogs in the ring enough time to settle despite the very limited time we had left after waiting for so long to get started.
