Thank you to the committee for asking me to judge at this lovely, very well run show. It was a real pleasure.

Puppy (2,2) 1st - Mrs Poole- Hawkesmill Merlon A beautiful 7 month old mustard male, with strong head and stop. Good texture of jacket but needs to strip more off the elbows, so he does not appear out at elbow when on the move. Nice top line and tail set. Strongest movement of the day. Very promising puppy, handled well by owner . BOB, BPIP and PG3 .

2nd - Mrs Moult - Hawkesmill Meg for Zamdilsa Litter sister to my 1st place and again lots to like in this puppy. Lovely Bitch with a pretty feminine face and strong head. Nice top line which she kept on the move. Coat needs more work but evidence that there is a nice coat coming. Her movement was stronger coming then going but again a very promising puppy.

Open (1,3) 1st- Bell - 1st Reidswire Lord O' Liddesdale Nice mustard dog with a lovely head, which led into a strong neck and a good top line. Lovely pencilled coat and length. Unfortunately his rear movement a little close. RBOB
