I would like to thank the above club for inviting me to judge their open show. I had an excellent entry of 79 dogs of which 59 were present. I would also like to thank my stewards for their expertise in the ring and keeping it running smoothly. To my disappointment I found that the correct movement was lacking in many of the exhibits hence some may have lost out on a higher placing because of that. Also there were quite a number of exhibits without the correct head type. I hope we do not lose this as it is one of the most important features of the breed. Surprisingly there were quite a few light eyes. Mypetstop is a super venue with a very large ring and a good surface but a lot of handlers failed to take advantage of it to show off their charges! Last but not least I found all the dogs to be fit, healthy and have excellent temperaments.
