Mr Martyn DEBENHAM

Judging:

My thanks to the committee for this appointment and to my 2 very efficient stewards on the day.

Having been away from the ring for 2 years,  the exhibits (with a couple of exceptions) were new to me. My general observations are that there were no obvious health issues present on the day, clear eyes, no over wrinkles or breathing problems.  However points that need considerations are the lack of depth and width of chest, this is so important to the health of the dogs and you also loose the desired rolling gait.
