Judge: Mr C. Moore (Vic)
First thank you for the kind invitation to judge your show, we were very lucky with the weather, and I would like to thank the exhibitors for their entry. Presentation was excellent and sportsmanship good in most cases. It was good to see all the facets of obedience agility and jumping taking place at the show. It was so pleasing to see many quality specimens especially in the bitches. The breeders should be congratulated.
