Kathryn Trevor -Trevorsilk

Many thanks to the committee for my judging appointment and my two steward Pam and Kirsty who kept my ring moving. It had been a long wait for the exhibitors as we were in the ring after all the toy breeds so many thanks to you all for stopping . Also thank you for your patience as I really wasn’t feeling very well and I really hope I didn’t pass my germs onto anyone else 

Labrador Retrievers

2 Edwards Centenalee Lola at Bearstone7 month old black female a lot smaller than my first place a bit of a fidget, which the owner tried to contain by giving non-stop titbits, overall a lovely put together girl who needs time to mature she had a good head and a perfect bite clean powerful neck set into well placed shoulders I would like more depth of chest to her forelegs well boned and straight feet were well compact with well arched toes she had the distinctive lab tail which she carried gaily around the ring and on the move she enjoyed herself which is important as a puppy
