Southern Counties 2011 Judged by Sharon Ridgway
I would like to thank everybody who entered under me today. The weather was perfect if not a little to warm for some. Temperaments were impeccable and the dogs where presented to me in lovely clean condition, I even had a lovely smile from one bitch which I thought was lovely. All the dogs that I placed where fit for function. There were several classes where it was really down to the wire and I'm sure that many of these dogs will change places many times at different shows along the way. Thank you all for taking my decisions in a sporting manner.
