Golden Retriever Critiques 

I'd like to thank both the committee for appointing me to judge for the first time, and my exhibitors for trusting me to judge their dogs and respecting my decisions. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Open Dog, 8(4)

 1st FENN, Willsbrook The Hairy Biker At Jandeburn ShCM. This dog really did it for me on the day. He held his level topline thought out the class, he had a good tail set and a well bent stifle. He always looked happy to be in the ring wagging his tail and had a smile on his masculine head which was well chiselled. He also moved straight in front and rear with purpose.
