Judge – Mrs L Nesbitt
| I was greatly honoured to be invited to judge our lovely breed at this prestigious show. Many thanks to the committee for the invitation and the excellent hospitality and also to my efficient stewards, Grace and Chris Brown. I was delighted both by the quantity and the quality of the entry. As I do not show regularly at Ch. Shows, almost all of the dogs - and some of the exhibitors- were new to me. It was very encouraging to see a number of very promising youngsters which can only be good for the breed. Presentation was very good. Whilst I found no major health concerns, I was surprised to find a number of exhibits with dirty ears and this does need attention. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and felt very privileged to go over your lovely dogs. Thank you. | |
