WELSH KENNEL CLUB.. 21ST AUGUST 2022. GBGV JUDGE VIVIEN PHILLIPS

I HAD NOT JUDGED THE BREED FOR OVER 5 YEARS, PARTLY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC PARTLY DUE TO MY DECISION. THE ENTRY WAS SMALL WITH SOME ABSENT BUT, I WAS PLEASED WITH MY WINNERS. I FOUND SOME VARIANCE IN TYPE. SOME OF THIS IS OF COURSE DUE TO SEVERAL DOGS FROM OVERSEAS BEING IMPORTED OR USED AT STUD. WHILST THIS IS A GOOD THING ON THE WHOLE AS WE OBVIOUSLY HAD TO DO IN THE EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE BREED IN THE UK.. I WOULD URGE BREEDERS TO GO “BACK IN” TO THEIR LINES WHEN BREEDING THE PROGENY OF THESE MATINGS .
