General Comments

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Officers and committee for inviting me to judge this very well run show and for the hospitality extended to me on the day. I also thank the exhibitors for a wonderful entry and for the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions. Thanks also to my two stewards, Lucy and George, for keeping everything running so smoothly.

Minor Puppy Dog 4

1st Lawler's Roqfolly Ballroom Blitz - promising puppy with pleasing head and nice expression, well set ears, good bone and correct depth to body, just needs time to mature.

Puppy Dog 6
1st House's Gleadsbury Whatacracker - very promising puppy, masculine head, soft expression, good mouth, well bodied, with good ribcage, ample bone, good feet. Needs to tighten but moved round the ring with style. 2nd Philip's Roqfolly Aftershock - very similar in type to winner, and they probably change places many times in the future, but today my winner just collected himself a little better going round the ring. 3rd West's Gleadsbury Whatadazzler

Junior Dog 6

1st Hancock's Carnmarth Country Whispers at Hainknight - I really liked this young dog who is well balanced, with a lovely head and expression, good neck and shoulders and correct topline which he kept on the move, well bodied, very stylish on the move and he put pressure on the very sound veteran dog in the challenge for Best Dog, but just lost out on maturity.2nd Gray's Trimere Talk It Up - Bigger type than winner, has a lovely head although I would prefer a darker eye, good bone and body, just needs to settle on the move.
3rd Gray's Trimere Topscore
