I had a lovely day judging the Inter Club Match at Calverleigh village hall – the four clubs taking part were Ilfracombe, Newton Abbot, Exeter & Taunton. Some real quality dogs and exciting puppies made my task a difficult one in some cases. I extend my sincere thanks to the host club Ilfracombe for a well organised event and to all the exhibitors for bringing their lovely dogs to compete and for making the event a great success with a fantastic atmosphere.

Mrs Joy Perkins (Covana) judged the cocker spaniels at this show – not a great entry and a lot of absenties. Zorro won 1st in his class (only him in it) but went on to win BPIB, Best Dog and Res BOB ably handled by Mark. Ramona had to be content with a 1st and a 2nd today.
