I would like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge at this well run show & my excellent stewards for their support. 

Puppy (1, 0)

1. Walker’s Dexbenella It’s Only Me- 8 ½ mths, promising young man who showed with confidence. Balanced, he is well developed for age, masculine head with a pleasing expression, good neck flows into well angulated shoulders , good topline and strong quarters. Still needs to firm up a little but moves well for age carrying himself well. BP & delighted to hear he was BPIS – Congratulations!
