HUNGARIAN WIREHAIRED VIZSLA

Firstly a big thank you to both of my stewards who worked tirelessly throughout the day, starting at 9am and finishing at 4pm, to keep the ring running smoothly

Thank you also exhibitors for waiting patiently to get into the ring and presenting your dogs in good order, without you I would not have had the pleasure of judging this lovely breed.  I was pleased that I was able to complete judging so that my BOB Wirehaired Vizsla, ShCh Morganna Anise could go into the very strong gundog group and great to see her with a well deserved shortlisting 

Apologies for delay in this critique - a new arrival into the Smith family took my time
