I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge the last LKA show to be held at the NEC, and to also thank my very able stewards. I really enjoyed my day and had a fantastic entry of quality dogs, so much potential amongst the youngsters to watch for the future. I am passionate to see the breed move forward with both show and working. Thank you to all the exhibitors for contributing to such an excellent entry, so many with potential for the top awards on another day. So good to see the breed developing substance and quality, though we still have a long way to go with so much variety in the breed. I was delighted with my final line ups and my top dog now becoming the second full champion in the breed. A lovely atmosphere, we should all continue to enjoy our showing supporting the winners on the day.

1st | Elkin TOLLELKIN CAIFE AMERICANO SGWC Unmistakably my star of the day, I have watched this dog develop, today he showed his socks off presenting himself with real confidence.

Deep chested and well sprung ribs, moderate bone and good angulation. Well-presented tight feet and level topline.
