Judge Steve McArdle

I was really pleased to get the invitation to judge at Working & Pastoral Breeds

 Association of Scotland. I would like to thank the committee for inviting

me and thank the Boxer exhibitors for the sporting way they accepted

my decisions. I was also really pleased to see that my entry was the

 highest in the group. After not being around the show ring for the past

 couple of years I was pleased with the overall quality of my entry

Minor Puppy Dog 4:0

 in outline, typical male head still maturing as you would expect for a puppy

of this age, lovely dark eyes with excellent pigmentation, great mouth with good

width of jaw, straight front with ample fore chest, good width of thigh which

helped him move effortlessly around the ring. Pleased to award him the class

the ground well. not as mature as 1 at present, but am sure these two will
