It is always a great honour to be invited to judge the club show of your own breed. But to judge the record all time entry was something on another level. Thank you to the club for inviting me and to everyone who entered, who brought their fantastic dogs under me, and who trusted my judgement.

Veteran Dog (4 entries)

1^st	Davies KATMISTSKY'S SOUL DREAM RL6-EX Best movement of the class, pleasure to watch him go both up and down and in profile. Very well balanced outline, good angulation. Presented in a very good condition. Masculine wedge shaped head, good ear placement, would prefer a shade longer muzzle. Well muscled powerful body.

2^nd	Elkiss & Attwater SERENTAN ALCEDO Smaller boy with very lovely outline. Needs more time to mature throughout, but has good angulation and structure. Nice movement holding his topline and tail very well.
