Working & Pastoral Breeds Association of Wales Championship show
April 20th 2019
Rough Collies
Thanks to the committee for asking me to judge my breed at this show, the weather couldn’t have
been better, thanks also to my 2 friends for their great company & stewarding in the ring.
So pleased with the entry of quality dogs & bitches, ninety nine & a half percent being very clean &
beautifully groomed, also temperaments were good. Thanks to exhibitors in taking my decisions in
good sportsmanship, wish I’d had another set of big cards as was splitting hairs in the challenges.
