Thank you to the Committee of Manchester Dog Society for inviting me to Judge and for your kind hospitality.

Due to Covid and family health issues this was the first show I have attended since well before the lock down so it was exciting to see many dogs that were new to me. Quantity may not have been what we used to get but the quality certainly made up for that. So many top-quality dogs bodes well for the future. Thank you for bringing your lovely dogs, I enjoyed judging them.

Leg length appears to be improving generally and there was no evidence of very overweight dogs so no Breed issues to report. A small number of untidy mouths and several proud tails. Temperaments were exemplary.

Thank you to Joyce and Jean, my two hard working Stewards who helped keep the ring running efficiently.

My Co-Judge and I liked both CC winners (I had awarded the bitch a CC in the past) but we struggled to agree so decided to let the Referee choose. He selected the Bitch and delighted she was short-listed in the Group. Best Puppy was the dog who went on to win the Puppy Group. Best Veteran automatically went to the Best of Breed winner.

1st: HAINES, Leighsham Tullamore

So much to like about this 11 month old youngster. Standing and moving he is balanced throughout. Handsome head and gentle expression, good reach of neck into well laid-back shoulders, good return of upper arm, rib cage developing nicely, short couplings with well-muscled rear quarters and turn of stifle. Level top line and tail set held on the move which he did with free-flowing strides. BPD, BP & PG1.

2nd: BECK, Simon Basset De Ria Vela for Beinangus (Imp Esp)

Needs a little more time to fill his slightly larger frame but has plenty to like about him already. Mid gold with Good head and expression. Level top line, slopes off at croup slightly, tail carried correctly. Front and rear angles in harmony. Well-presented and moved out with purpose.
