- Reserve Best of Breed: De Ca`n Benet Starmenta Linmist JW

A big thank you to the committee of the Guildford & District Canine Society for allowing me to judge the Bulldog classes on Sunday 8th, December 2013 at South Of England Showground, Ardingly and to The Junior Bulldog Club for donating rosettes. I had a lovely day and met a lot of nice people from my stewards, competitors and committee. The event was held indoors with good size rings and sand on the floor, which the Bulldogs seemed to enjoy. Unfortunately there was no group competition, The quality of the Bulldogs was really good and i had some difficult choices to make. Finally a massive thank you to the competitors who were present for making my journey more than worthwhile.
