Judge Ms T Forsey (Muzoku).

Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge at this super show. I must apologise to those of you that have been waiting for critiques. They were in fact sent two weeks after the show, unfortunately we have had issues with our home computer, and I was unaware that they had not sent We now have a new PC so hopefully no further issues.

1.Barnett’s Dippermoor Daquiri at Sonspirit

I really liked this young male for his beautiful headpiece. All in balance and with a very sweet expression. Good body tone and super coat condition. At just under a year he is a very promising youngster. Up on leg at present but I’m sure when he matures the chest will balance this well.
