A Committee provides for us all to enjoy an event, And I have to say it, Birmingham National you looked sensational, such a huge amount of organisation goes into something as well put together as you provided for your exhibitors over these four days, and it was still as stunning on day four with warm and pleasant weather to also enjoy. 

I had a great size ring, just the perfect size and I had two very competent and pleasant stewards to assist me.  Thank You.

I was pleased to have such a nice entry and within that entry, I was able to find the structure, shape and movement, I had hoped I could find. I was delighted with my winners and thoroughly enjoyed this appointment. 

I would like to Thank you all for your entries, I judged your dogs as honestly as I could to my interpretation of the breed standard and its updates over the years.  It was good sportsmanship between all the exhibitors. Thank You for accepting my decision.

The negative observation of the breed’s entry on the day was the dentition and bite.

1st: 7493 ROWE, Mrs Jenny & ROWE, Miss Rebecca Boloria Goodnight Mr Tom, very much a baby compact, well-muscled and without exaggeration, he moved out soundly with reach and drive and he sported a jacket of the correct texture. 

2nd: 7481 MOORE, Mrs Anne & DOWNES, Miss Laura Romanchi Day At The Races, this boy needs time but he certainly has it all there, hands just flowed over his construction and I appreciated this structure in such a super harsh coat. Moved ok.

Class 2637 JD (7 Entries) Abs: 1

1st: 7462 HOWLETT, Miss Roisin & PHILLIPS, Mrs V Tendrow Malibar, I liked this male, he was stunningly stacked up and didn’t disappoint on the move either.

2nd: 7479 MOORE, Mr W Cloudside Vincent, Unlucky to meet the winner today as he is a lovely well-constructed male, loin was short and strong and topline was reasonably level however he was not striding out as much as I would have liked to see him do.

2nd: 7468 JACKSON, Mrs Susan & JACKSON, Mr Roger Elderkine Special Brew.  A red, well-developed male of good proportions, full oval thorax, with ribs extending well back, but his left side elbow was not well tucked in and moved today with his bum quite high around the ring.

BCC & BOS. 

2nd: 7461 HOWE, Miss Emily Bramalodge Baby I'm Yours, this bitch was very similar and unfortunate to meet my winner in this class. She was just a bit bigger all through.
