JUDGE MRS LINDSEY BAMFORTH (BELLAMIABAM)

I would like to Thank the officers and committee for giving me the huge privilege of judging my beloved breed and awarding my first set of CC’s at Bath canine society’s champ show.

Also Thankyou to the exhibitors for their entries and showing great sportsmanship with my decisions. Overall, I had some lovely exhibits and a few difficult decisions to make. My awards consisted of dogs with type, substance and overall movement that should be typical for the breed, where absolute soundness is essential and can be seen at a controlled gait with the head lowered which is typical of this breed.
