Results and judge’s critique
(NW Club Members are in red)
What a super, well run and organised Breed Club Show. My thanks to the Officers and Committee for this opportunity and also to the exhibitors for their entries and support.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day and the show had a great atmosphere all day with everyone applauding and showing great sportsmanship for my choices and the winners.
In the main mouths were good with just a few misplaced teeth. Body physique and condition was good to see. Quality was evident in most. I was impressed with the handling skills of many.
Thanks to my ring stewards Jan and Steve for keeping everything moving along smoothly. Thank you to the NWSBTC for the excellent lunch and also for my Judges gift.
