Hungarian Vizsla Club

Open Show

Sunday 17th March 2013

Judge: Mrs Yvette McAngus (Redfurs)

 

Firstly I would like to apologise to the Committee and Exhibitors in the delay in forwarding my critique.  Unfortunately on my return from the show I took a relapse of my condition which affected my balance and eyesight so you will appreciate day to day life and looking after my dogs was my priority.

May I thank the Committee for their hospitality and for my wonderful Stewards and for the exhibitors that braved the snow to get to the Show.
