Thank you all exhibitors who so showed their dogs for me in the bitterly strong wind! I do hope you don’t blame my Swedish origin for the cold weather!Otherwise I had a lovely day at the Open Show and noticed especially the relaxed and friendly atmosphere. All of the dogs were easy to handle – I had none who was shy or aggressive and all displayed the lovely hound mentality that we all love.
