Firstly my thanks to Bournemouth Show Committee & stewards and of course
Sally & Jasper for a warm welcome and looking after me so well & inviting me to judge at the show this year & to the exhibitors for my entries. I thoroughly
enjoyed my appointment and the opportunity to go over so many hounds.
I did however find that some hounds were not presented /shown in the best
condition ie. Over weight hounds, so not in fit condition. A few issues, that personally I can’t overlook when judging have also crept in and become acceptable in recent years. However in general most were well presented and pleasing to me.
