WELSH CORGI PEMBROKE

My thanks to officers and committee for the invitation to judge at this lovely show. Grateful thanks to all exhibitors who entered under me and the sportsmanlike fashion they accepted my decisions.

I would like to make a few points. I found quite a few level bites. A cracked or a tooth missing due to an accident is of little consequence to me however we really should be paying attention to the bite. Round flat feet are also creeping in. I also feel we are losing our lovely typical corgi head which is also worrying. That said I was more than happy with my winners.

PD. (3,1). Irvings Twinan the Beat goes on. R/W. Attractive 7 month old quality puppy. Good masculine head, good reach of neck leading to a level topline.
