May I say thank you to all exhibitors for allowing me the honor of going over your dogs, I so enjoyed my day. May I offer my congratulations to the breeders for producing some very nice exhibits, not an easy breed to breed when you have to add decoration on to conformation.
The soggy summer has played havoc with the coats (fancy having a breed that rusts is what my partner says) evidence of it here today. May I be so bold to offer a little tip to some, if you must bathe your dog the night before try not to rub the coat the wrong way it does not have time to lay flat again.
