I was really pleased to be given the opportunity to judge the Shiba Inus one of my favourite breeds which I first started judging 11 years ago. This breed makes me smile they always appear to be happy little dogs. I had a top quality entry who were all presented in great condition. It was lovely to see

so many young excellent handlers in the breed which is very encouraging.

I was pleased to see my BOB gain Group 2 in the utility group. I thoroughly enjoyed my day judging and was pleased in the way the exhibitors accepted my placings.

7 mth B&T still very much a baby and his handler did very well with him, puppies can sometimes be challenging but she held her own with him and in time he will settle and come into his own. He has a lovely head type, blunt and triangular when viewed from above, not using his ears today, dark correct eyes, muscular neck , straight front when settled ,nicely angulated rear quarters, correct tail set, wishing his owner good luck with him in the future.
