Open Show 27th January 2019

I would like to thank the officers and committee for this lovely appointment, and also thank you to the exhibitors that entered under me, yes the entry was not large but I enjoyed the quality that I had under me.

I think that I just need to point out that it does not matter how many you have entered under you, be it 1 or 100 you should still turn up and enjoy your day, yes entries have dropped but you should be grateful that exhibitors are spending money and time for your opinion.

1st & BOB Murray’s Takoda Nathan, Dog with a masculine head and expression, but without being over done in anyway, nice strong neck flowing into correct front angulation, nice depth of chest and heart room, strong top line and correct tail placement, used his strong rear construction to help move around the ring with ease.

1st BOB & BP Grahan, Graham & Denwood’s Bonapartist Orchid of Lyndal, lovely bitch of nice breed type, sweet head and expression, correct front and rear construction that gives this breed its unique movement, which this bitch just excelled in, correct top line with a gentle slope from withers to croup, not many I would take home but this bitch would be one, I can’t wait to see how she does in her show career.

1st & BPIB, Gray & Evan’s Qualitil Sophies Sensation, young dog that just needed time to settle down which is a little difficult with only one in the class. Lovely head and expression that flowed into correct front construction, nice depth of chest and spring of rib, level top line and correct tail placement, nice rear angles which did help on the move when he settled.
