It was an honour and a pleasure to be invited to judge our breed at this show and I would like to thank the club committee and its members for allowing me this privilege. All the dogs were presented in clean condition with just a few showing a hint of Dally rash, a few exhibits were standoffish when going over but overall temperaments were excellent, a small number of exhibits were quite thin in the loin and some lacked rear musculature, this can be easily remedied with the correct exercise.

Many thanks to my stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly all day.
