General Comments
It was a great honour and pleasure to judge the English Springer Spaniel Club Championship Show in the year of celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of the recognition of the breed by the Kennel Club. Many thanks for the warm welcome and excellent hospitality. The Officers and Committee must be congratulated on the running of the such a wonderful show. It was nice to see many past exhibitors and overseas guests with us.
In general my main concern was five bad mouths, light eyes and poor movement.
