We are proud
to show off the photos from our Championship Show held on Saturday 10 July
2004. The judge for our show was Miss Maria-Luise Doppelreiter from
Austria. Affectionately known to everyone as MLD, she had a great entry
of just over 70 Cocker Spaniels - and this was her first judging appointment
in Australia.
MLD said -
I would like to thank everyone, who made this judging trip to
Australia possible, it is a joy to be here and handle all these lovely dogs!
Many thanks also to all exhibitors, who took my decisions in a really sporting
way � there will always be only one winner, but always remember: each of you
took your best dog home after the show. Many thanks to my very efficient
steward Simon Mills and to Erin Brown for writing at the show and her
hospitality during my stay!
Big Thank You to our Show Sponsors, Pedigree and Plush Puppy for their kind
donations, and our members who also donated to our Trophy Fund.
