Manchester Dog Show Society

I would like to say thank you to the Manchester committee & to everyone who entered under me 

I was very pleased with my overall winners as I have no doubt they could do the job they were bred for. Although I feel we as a breed should be focusing on conformation as upright shoulders are creeping in, lack of fore chest and we are loosing power & drive which the breed standard calls for. 

Puppy Dog 

What a way to start the day with such a strong class of puppies, made my job very hard. But shows such promise for the future of the breed.

1st Jones, King Of The Manor By Sundabish:10 month old clear fawn who was square from every angle, well balanced, good bite, well laid shoulders which allowed him to move around the ring with ease & purpose. Good depth of chest. Everything is where it should be at this age. Pleased to award him BP and watch him take WPG4
