Champ Show May 2011
Judge: Tracey Walker

Firstly I would like to thank all the exhibitors for there patience and understanding while awaiting authorisation for me to be able to give my first set of tickets, I received conformation just 10 days before the show relief at last for myself and the clubs secretary, on the day of the show I had a brilliant time thoroughly enjoyed my appointment helped along by my two very good stewards that I must say did a cracking job looking after me.

I do have some concerns within the breed, on a negative the quality of the bitches seem to be on the decline, in some classes I found a big difference in heads this was in dogs and bitches, some very overdone far too much wrinkle, while some very plain and weak in head, there was a lack of quality puppies however I was more than pleased with the majority of my principal winners, keep in mind when breeding these youngsters they are the future of our stock. On a positive note movement was quite good, the dogs have greatly improved, for me the majority of brindles stole the show overall they are the strongest I have seen.
