Championship Show – 31st August 2025

Thank you to the Officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this prestigious show. I was very much looking forward to this appointment seen how the breed progress since I last judged.

I have some concerns there are couple with narrow bottom jaws which needs to be watched. Some exhibitors where carry too much weight. Temperament is so important in every breed, and you need to be careful that this not creep in. Coats were generally good throughout, some interesting movement too.
