3rd August 2024

Labradors

First, I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge their well run championship show, also my thanks to my two stewards John and Angela for their hard work in the smooth running of the classes.

I did find many were changing their coats but they will return, the chocolates were badly affected having patchy coloured coats.
