Clumber Spaniel Club Open Show 2015

Mr J Newsham

I was honoured & delighted to judge the Clumber Spaniel Club Open Show, it was a very well run & friendly show and thank you to my efficient stewards and the Committee for their hospitality. I would like to sincerely thank all the exhibitors who made the trip today to show their dogs and allow me the privilege to go over their Clumbers. I was pleased with my winners, some dogs would benefit from better muscle tone to tighten movement up.
