Dog CC Challenge
Very many thanks for the superb entry of 237 from 169 exhibits. The quality of the breed has greatly improved since I last judged them at Windsor. The temperaments as usual were happy & friendly & many wagging tails. Just a couple of the youngsters were a little apprehensive in strange surroundings. I did notice that eyes are getting too round & not the almond shape as per the Standard but all eyes were a good colour. Toplines also need watching as a few were dipping behind the withers. I was impressed by the quality o the puppies & juniors. So good for the future of this lovely breed. I was very impressed by the presentation of the exhibits, my hands remained very clean throughout the classes. I was unable to take more details of the winners due to the lovely large entry & the time schedule involved. Many thanks to my very able stewards who kept the ring running very smoothly.
