SPECIAL AWARD CLASSES
Judge: Britt-Marie Young
Thank you to the Southern Finnish Lapphund Society for inviting me to judge these three SA classes and for their hospitality. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with so many quality dogs to examine and the atmosphere was so relaxed in the hall with both handlers and dogs just taking everything in their stride and performed so natural and easy it was a joy to be part of. Also many thanks to Lyn and Gemma, the ring stewards who worked so efficiently making everything in the ring running like clockwork.
