I had a pleasant, relaxing trip across the Irish sea to Wales an on to Bulith Wells to judge Rottweilers at the Working and pastoral breeds association of Wales. We had nice weather and a beautiful venue. I was happy with the entry and I would like to thank all the exhibitors for their courtesy and sportsmanship inside and outside the ring. The quality was pretty high and I was very pleased with my main winners. I had some very hard decisions to make in some classes, along with the frustration of one dog going lame. These are the joys of showing and judging dogs, it's all on the day. Happy there was no 'hyper types' present but there still is a lot of work to be done for breeders. Short upper arms, round eyes and soft top lines cannot be ignored. Tails have improved as have size and substance . Thanks to the Working and pastoral breeds association of Wales for the invitation.
