Guildford & District Canine Society,

Sunday, 15 February 2026

Thank you to the officers and committee for inviting me to judge at such a well-organised and efficiently run show. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side, and it did have an impact on some of the exhibits, but spirits remained high and everyone appeared to make the most of the day. A thank you also to my efficient steward on the day who kept the ring running smoothly. I was pleased to have a number of quality dogs before me and extend my appreciation to all exhibitors for presenting them so well and for accepting my decisions in such a sporting manner. I thoroughly enjoyed my appointment

Dobermann

Junior (1)

1st Jojavik Shake to Fame (Ms B & Mr A & Ms V L & Mrs J A & Mr R Fogarty & Paisey & Ingram & Ingram & Lack, brown male 15 months old, he presents a super square outline and was very well put together. On closer inspection he is in good muscular condition and definitely alert! He has good angulation front and back, presenting a balanced outline. His head is all masculine, flat skull and cheeks flat, he has a good scissor bite. On the move he was a misbehaving teenager!! When he did get himself together, he has good reach and drive and level topline, he’s a really nice dog which I liked a lot, such a shame in the challenge he misbehaved. I’m hoping his handler preserves with him and get him through the teenage stage, as he has a bright future. RBOB
