Show critique
Firstly I would like to thank the North Eastern Chow Chow Club for inviting me to judge but especially all the intrepid exhibitors who braved the inclement weather to come and show such lovely dog for me. I was delighted with the depth of quality in most classed and thrilled to have so many lovely youngsters to assess.
