Thank you for bringing your much loved dogs for me to go over. Most greeted me with a happy face and a wagging tail. I found it impossible to judge to type as we seem to have completely lost it. The dogs were all shapes and sizes. Heads need watching and I found level bites and one reverse scissor bite. Are we trying to create a new bull breed? The standard clearly asks for a scissor bite.Some dogs would have done better but were let down by their handlers. See Miss Page and Miss Garton for a lesson in how to move and show a dog to advantage! A Dalmatian should move with freedom and drive . Spotting is reasonable but ticking is creeping in I think eye colour has improved with not too many light eyes around now.We must watch size carefully and whilst I never put a dog down for its size if it is balanced the breed is getting a bit too high on the leg. Our breed is not an easy one to get right. I think the bitches generally are more typical. Thank you to my Stewards Bill and Jane and to the Club for their warm welcome .

1.Collins Tamilanda Pink Panther.Black Baby Boy.Well marked and nice strong bone.Good overall body shape.Shows promise but clearly a long way to go as yet.Paced now and again. Handler and dog will learn together how to have fun. He was a little overawed in the next class. Will watch him with interest.
2 .Inghams Tamilanda Perfect Pink. Litter brother and completely different.A long way behind in the development stage and needs much more time. Good coloured spotting but finer in bone. Needs more training.
