THE AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG CLUB OF VICTORIA INC
3RD SPECIAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
4TH JUNE 2006

Judge Mrs Anne Hutchison (Dalrannoch, Scotland)

It was an honour to be invited to judge at this show and my thanks to the president and committee for this appointment. A sincere thank you to the exhibitors for such a lovely entry. Also thanks to my steward Mr Ross Brennan, and to those who supplied the lovely food, and for the hospitality shown to me, and my friend Mrs Joan Drinkwater. To the dogs, temperament was excellent and there was much to admire. I thought the overall quality in the puppies very good, and was truly “splitting hairs” in some of the classes, such stability must auger well for the breed.
