Open Show 2017

Sunday 9th April 2017

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the club for inviting me to judge and the exhibitors for such a lovely entry of dogs. We had a beautiful sunny day and the atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. I had a lovely time and my two stewards kept things running smoothly for me and I wish this club all the best for the future.

DOGS

Minor Puppy Dog
1st Whisperdown’s Tango – Lovely puppy who caught my eye as soon as he entered the ring. He is so smart and clean in outline for his age. Lovely head but it still has to develop, dark eye, good pigment, well set ears, moved sound and very together for his age and worked with his handler. Couldn’t go past him and was delighted to award him BEST PUPPY IN SHOW.
2nd Bergmann Smart Alliance – Slightly longer in outline than 1, rear end still to develop and feet could be tighter but promising baby.
