............................................... RESULTS
THE NATIONAL
Our Judge Jennie Reed has kindly provided the following comments on the showing conditions at WELKS."many thanks to all those who exhibited under me at WELKS and so bravely coped with the atrocious weather.The dogs were presented beautifully and I don,t know how you all managed that!.The appalling conditions made judging very difficult as many,particularly in the younger classes ,were afraid of the flapping tent ,and associated noises,so were shaking and often rather 'tucked up'.I felt that the conditions also spooked some otherwise good dogs when it came to moving .Unfortunately one must judge the dog on the day so this could not be overlooked.I would also like to thanks those who entered but felt the conditions were just too bad - I am sure that had I not been judging I would have stayed away".
