What a success, the show committee did a fantastic job, making everyone feel safe and comfortable. They even managed to order some fantastic weather. Many thanks to my two kind and helpful stewards
It was a pleasure and honour to make up two new Champions. Mr and Mrs G Bailys Greyflax Pearls a singer, Mr and Mrs J Grimshaws Greyflax Diamond Joe at Jamalison, both from the same litter bred by Mr and Mrs G & N Bailey, the bitch res cc is also from the same litter, the breeder and owners must be very proud! Well done.
I also want to thank the exhibitors that kindly came under me during the restrictions.
The dogs I judged were of good quality and presented in healthy and great condition. However, I did find a few teeth that need a little attention. Some heads had a bit more of a stop than the standard calls for in my opinion. Eye colour good generally. I did feel a few eyes did not have the depth to the colour. I felt Movement was generally good.
