On Sunday, January 17, 2016 I had the pleasure to judge the East Anglian Old English Sheepdog Club’s championship show in Littleport. I was pleased with my entry, especially the CC and reserve CC winners, my best puppy and best veteran. Some nice cobby dogs, some very good movers, a lot of dogs with oustanding coat quality. Preparation and presentation was fabulous.
Thanks to the committee for a perfect organization in a great venue and to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs and for their sportsmanship. There was a lovely atmosphere at the show and I hope everybody enjoyed it as much as I did.
