I would like to thank the committee for their help & hospitality. I was sorry Joan Dowdell was too ill to judge the show as I was looking forward to showing under her, I hope she has a speedy recovery. The entry was somewhat depleted as some exhibitors chose to withdraw their dogs so the entry of 48 was reduced to 26. As most of the adult dogs were absent it gave the youngsters a chance to shine, both of my CC winners being awarded their first CCs. Many thanks to my ring steward.
There were one or two exhibits with dark brown eyes instead of the required amber brown which does spoil the expression & also pigmentation faults brown eye rims instead of black & not on pure white dogs.

headpiece, correct shaped eyes, standing foursquare on good well boned legs with
good length of body, still a little high at the back which should level out as
he grows but still with enough rear angulation to warrant him being awarded his
first CC; 2 C Simply Magic at C.
