Thank you for inviting me to judge. And thanks to the hard work of the committee and my stewards who made the ring run so smoothly.
I was pleased with such a lovely quality entry and all the dogs were in pristine condition, beautifully groomed even clean teeth, one of my pet hates is dirty teeth.
Temperaments on the whole were good and I was certainly spoilt for choice in some classes. If I was to criticise I would prefer a more weather proof coat & in some exhibits the dogs seemed to have been bathed and consequently stripped of all texture making coats soft & therefore not weather proof & I would rather see a tail slightly lifted than rough handling to keep it down.
