My thanks to the exhibitors for the wonderful entry and being given the opportunity to handle so many beautiful dogs, Quality in the classes just oozed from the exhibits, the Open class was amazing,  I was so spoilt for choice I could have done with many more prize cards. Whippet’s were all presented in good condition with shining coats, and mostly with plenty of muscle tone.
