First, I must thank the Committee of The National for the organisation & hospitality of this prestigious event. It could not have been easy under the current circumstances. It was the first indoor show for many of the younger dogs and they found the situation stressful having not been in this environment before. I tried to give each individual time to settle. It has been 2 years since I last judged, sadly, the breed hasn't improved. We have lost breed type, too many upright shoulders and hardly any double coats. Having said that I was pleased with my winners.
Special Beginner Dog (3 entries)
| 1st | Limerick & O'Sullivan RIVERWATCHER PALUKTAK Masculine head leading to strong neck. A liitle upright in shoulders for me. Is in good coat with plenty of body. Ample bone and well muscled quarters. Moved soundly. |

This was the 1st indoor show for all of these - hence a little apprehensive. Litter brothers and all at different stages of development. Will change places many times.

| 2nd | Elkin TOLLELKIN DREAM HARBOUR Not as mature as 1 - little finer throughout at the moment. In good coat & condition. Would like his head to develop more. Moved ok but needs more coordination. |

| 2nd | Copeland CAMUSMOR BRINGMESUNSHINE TO MENSTONIA Similar type to 1. Good head, eye & shoulder placement. Well bodied & nicely muscled. Have seen him move better - felt that he was not being allowed to stride out therefore restricting his movement. |
