I
would like to thank the Club for
their hospitality, my stewards, Hilary Gilpin and Paul
Cheeseman for their efficiency and hard work, and the
exhibitors for such a super entry: 144 dogs making 191
entries. It was a pleasure to go over so many quality
exhibits and in some classes I would have liked to have
had more prize cards.
I found all males to be entire,
no serious mouth faults and temperaments, almost without
exception, to be excellent. The vast majority of those
present were spannable but weight was an issue. Some
dogs were carrying too much but much more worrying were
those which were far too thin. Dogs with their ribs and
pin bones sticking out and no muscle wouldn’t last very
long doing a day’s work.
