I had the honour to judge six classes of Golden Retrievers and this wonderful show.
It really was a quality entry and I was spoilt for choice.
My Best Of Breed went to a lovely young dog
Endellion Spinnaker owned by Vanessa Giltsoff.
Great to hear he was shortlisted in the group.
My Best Puppy was a stunning pale bitch, Stormerrick Constance, who went on to win
Puppy Group 2.
My other main placings went to a lovely golden boy,
