JUDGES REPORT - S.E.S.S. OPEN SHOW 17/07/05 Southern English Setter Society Open Show at Chieveley Village Hall on 17/07/05 I found the dogs were all clean and well presented, the weather was very hot which unfortunately influenced movement in many cases, the bitches coped far better than the dogs.
