Thanks to the committee for this kind invitation, to the exhibitors for their entries and my very efficient Stewards for all their help.

Weimaraners Junior

1. Finch Silberliss Summer of Love B. 13mth Pleasing overall shape, good topline, nicely muscled and although angulation is not yet balanced it is correct for this age. Very good feminine head yet strong too. Movement, she uses her hocks well and looks very easy all ways.

2. Radford Schonhund Show Dolly B. 14mth very similar to 1 so same remarks apply. Build and angulation right for age as is movement. Just a bit 'fidgety' in stance today.
