Many thanks for the Invitation to Judge and to my fabulous hard working Steward on her own all day also for the Exhibitors and their entries and allowing a Student Judge in the ring as well for JEP. Today I found quite a lot of weaknesses, quite concerning really in some cases that these will bred from i.e. Front angulations, elbowing out, weak pasterns, close hock actions and lacking drive a few straight stifles, some very narrow through and long in loins and fine in bone a few lighter eyes and incorrect shape creeping in. These comments do not apply to main winners. Pleased to see BOB take a Group 2 in the Adult group and Veteran bitch shortlisted in the Veteran Group also.
