JUNIOR WARRANT COMPETITION QUALIFIER

KCJW (64)

The five qualifying dogs were.

Parker & Mcdonald’s Violis Storm Tracker JW (Miniature Schnauzer)

Salter’s Irisaddition Love Actually JW (Bearded Collie)

Crocker & Lewis’ Riverbrue Ophelia Winky JW (Irish Setter)

Cranfield’s Zefather’s Ralph Lauren JW (Great Dane)

And the Reserve was Thomas & Bull Phoria’s Seventh Heaven JW (Bullmastiff)

Wow what a class and such an honour to judge it. The class was full of so much quality and I had to make some hair splitting decisions and could have easily put forward all 11 in my final shortlist but alas I can only place five and one reserve.

Good luck to you all you at the semi- finals.
