Dennis Homes was unwell. I would like to wish him a speedy recovery. He had attracted a good entry. I thank NCKCS Society for the opportunity to be his replacement.
Being the 4th day of the show, the ring was 'tricky'. Some dogs did not put in their best performance, I feel. I was perturbed there were a number of small eyes. Please do not lose the breed's distinctive quality that gives that soft expression we love so much.
