For me it has been a busy judging fortnight with judging a lovely quality entry of Toys and BIS at Derby Canine. The club were so hospitable of which I am very grateful. Also thank you for my gift of a huge BIS Easter Egg, not sure the waist line thinks so at the moment! Then last weekend I travelled to LKA of Scotland, my thanks to those that navigated me to the show with the road being closed. I stayed in super accommodation and it was an enjoyable weekend with friends and such an array of quality dogs to go over.

With the Bank Holiday this weekend, enjoy and have fun at the shows. Let me know of your successes then everyone can share your wins and celebrate with you.

Until next week, safe travels.
