BORDER JUDGE LKA 19

I would first like to thank all the exhibitors for a lovely entry, and for making the effort to travel to the NEC on a dark winter’s morning. There was a variation in breed type to a degree, which is always the case, but I was very happy with both my final line-ups and only wish I could hand out more awards.
