This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.
| Thank you to the officers and committee of Windsor Championship Dog Show for the opportunity to judge at their show. I was very pleased with my overall entry due to it being midweek and the rising cost of fuel. I would also like to thank my stewards for doing an excellent job and all the exhibitors for taking their placings gracefully |
