Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge this lovely show, I really enjoyed myself, well laid out, plenty of space and ran smoothly.
Thanks also must go to my steward who managed to keep the ball rolling on her own, not an easy task with regular clashes happening throughout.

Ess
Puppy
1.
Filed-Enticott, 8 moths, giving handler hard time, overall the presentation let this exhibit down, spoilt even more by pink staining, I liked his head, albeit a little plain at the moment but it has time to break, good neck into of shoulders, a little down on pasterns. He is the right ratio of length and height, a good topline held well today, tail carried a little high, movement overall was difficult to assess, I found him positive and happy, once tweaks are made with this partnership I’m sure they will make a great team.
