THANK YOU TO THE COMMITTEE, WHILST NUMERICALLY VERY SMALL ON THE DAY, WORKED SO HARD TO MAKE THIS A VERY PLEASANT AND ORGANISED SHOW. I ENJOYED THE JUDGING AND WAS PARTICULARLY PLEASED WITH MY MAIN WINNERS. I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW MANY EXHIBITS ACTUALLY EXCEEDED  THE 5KGS WEIGHT LIMIT. THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM WITH OVER LONG BACKS AND SHORT RIBCAGES. EXCESSIVE WRINKLE ON LEGS NEEDS TO BE WATCHED ALSO.

PUPPY DOG (2) 1 BARRETT’S AYSEEBEE TWINKLING STAR.  LIKED THE OVERALL SHAPE OF THIS 9 MONTH OLD BLACK AND TAN YOUNGSTER, I WOULD NOT WANT HIM LONGER IN BACK. GOOD HEAD AND EYE.  CORRECT NECK AND SHOULDERS, WELL DEVELOPED KEEL AND RIBS GO WELL BACK. STRONG IN TOPLINE AND HINDQUARTERS. MOVED WELL FOR A BABY. 2. STARKEY’S CARPACCIO BLACK OBSIDIAN AT HAMOURA. ANOTHER NICE BLACK AND TAN  YOUNGSTER, SHORTER IN BACK, AND HE ALSO HAS A  NICE HEAD AND FRONT, BOTH HAD TIGHT FEET AND THIS BOY ALSO HAD RIBBING GOING WELL BACK. IT WAS A CLOSE DECISION, BUT HE NEEDS TO TIGHTEN UP SIGNIFICANTLY IN HOCK, HIS HIND MOVEMENT WAS A BIT ERRATIC.
