Yellow Labrador Club

Open Show 25th March 2009

Thank you for inviting me to judge at your open show I had a wonderful day, I would like to thank you for making my companion and I feel so welcome. Thank you to the exhibitors for a lovely entry. It was a delight to see so many yellows. The lunch was delicious, One thing I feel I have to mention is - I was amazed at how many dirty dogs there were - quite awful. My BIS was an absolute beauty, wish she was mine.
