Cricklade Village Hall, 9th April 2017. Judge: Mrs Ann Deegan-Skitt
I would like to thank the officers and committee for the invitation to judge this lovely show. Thank you to those who made the wonderful entry of 50. My impression was of improved presentation and many wonderful crisp coats. I saw many new exhibitors who had a good standard of presentation and I wish good luck in the future in our wonderful breed. Many promising puppies and youngsters were present entered and visiting which bodes well for the breed. The sun shone on us for an enjoyable day.
