Judges Critique

I wish to thank The Greyhound Club committee for inviting me to judge our beautiful breed. I was honoured to accept this appointment and had a wonderful time. Was such a shame that the weather was awful, and we had to stay inside. However, this did not put a damper on my enthusiasm.
Puppy Dog.  Entries: 4.  Absentees: 1
