It was an honour to be invited to judge German Spitz Klein at such a prestigious Show with Challenge Certificates for the first time. I was delighted at the large and diverse entry which made for very interesting judging and so glad to hear the applause for my winners from the sporting exhibitors who along with Bath Society gave me a very warm welcome.  Thank you to my well known stewards Terry & Maureen Donovan for their expert help and the polos. I very much look forward to judging this enchanting breed again in the future to see how the dogs I have judged today have progressed and hope for more exciting youngsters.
