Boston & District Canine Society

I would like to thank Boston & District Canine Society Committee for inviting me to judge at their Championship Show and my two stewards expertly fulfilled their duties, so thank you for making my task easier. I was pleased with my entry being it was so early in the New Year; I thank all exhibitors for their entry. Pleased to find the general quality of our breed is in a good place, there were a few off-set crowns but on the whole ridges were well defined and correct. Temperaments were excellent throughout although one or two youngsters were a bit reserved, that will improve with experience. I was delighted to see my BOB Priorpark You Coda Be Mine of Metalrock JW was awarded HG2, my BP Gunthwaites Ayr of Elegance was awarded HGP1 and my SB Negasi Elberith for Clanbruachan was awarded HGSB4, huge congratulations to you all.
