My thanks to you all
for the trmendous entry & a special thanks to my stewards without whom I could
not have got through the day on time. The dogs today are now much more even than
they were some 35 years ago when we first came into the breed, although to be
fair, this levelling out process was well underway about 20 years ago. In
particular, coats are so much better & the standard of presentation now is so
much higher. I was especially fratified to find some very nice puppies, always a
good sign for the future.
