It was a great honour and privilege from the Midland Dobermann Club to be invited to judge at their Open show. Thanks to my steward who helped all day to run the ring so smoothly. My life is Dobermanns and judging the breed all in one day was wonderful thanks to all the committee, exhibitors and especially the dogs making it a good show on a very hot day.
