When the judging starts dogs are drawn from the
hat and are judged in pairs by all 3 judges who then
have then to choose a winner and I can assure
you it is not always unanimous so some lengthy
discussions can be had.

You then keep going until you are down to the last 2
or 3 dogs and then you choose the eventual winner,
and I must say it is not easy because all the dogs
are CC, RCC and BP winners.

I do hope you are all keeping safe and look forward to
meeting many of you soon.
