SOFT COATED WHEATEN JUDGE BATH 23

Thank you to Bath Canine society for this opportunity to judge this wonderful breed. The show was expertly run and the atmosphere was wonderful, this was partly due to the two very competent stewards I had so, I send them a big thank you. The exhibitors were all in good spirits and took my decisions sportingly. I had the absolute honour to judge some beautiful dogs and I had to make some tough decisions. The Wheatens that I had presented to me had all had time, effort, care and endless love given to them to look the way they did. All owners, exhibitors and breeders deserve a round of applause for their dedication they have shown to their dogs. Overall I found the mouths of the dogs good and excellent this was a great thing to see.
