Firstly, I would like to thank the officers and committee of Leeds Canine Society for inviting me to judge at their Championship Show. Also many thanks for the exhibitors for their lovely entry. Many exhibits had dirty teeth across all age groups, a pet hate of mine, and some exceeded the weight by more than a few ounces. However, temperaments were good throughout. 

PD (1) 1 Weston & Johnson's Ecotyne Never In Doubt. S/D. His first show, just 6 mths 2 days old. Nicely proportioned head of good length and balance with strong underjaw, well placed eye of pleasing shape and colour. Good length of body, good ribbing and keel, firm topline held well on the move. Good tailset and carriage, steady mover. If he maintains his weight should have a bright future. BPD. 

JD (2) 1 Woodall's Lyndarlea King Arthur. B/T. Correct size and well balanced all through although a tad narrow in front. Liked his head with lovely dark eye and well set ears. Pleasing outline, firm topline held well on the move. 2 Pitfield's Luna Caprese D'Oroed' Argento Of Follyfield (imp). S/D. Taller type than first but lots to like. Good proportioned head and dark eye. Good length of neck and lay of shoulder. Not quite the front assembly of first, but good ribbing. Moved well. 

PGD (1) 1 Woodall's Rarewood Silver Commander. S/D.  Evenly marked dappled coat in beautiful condition. Liked his head and dark eye. Good length of neck and ribbing, level topline. Correct hind angulation which allowed his flowing movement in the ring. 

LD (1) 1 Woodall's Half A Century At Rarewood. S/D. Already a winner of many RCC's not surprising as he has the look of good breeding and quality. Lovely, masculine head, correct mouth. Nicely coated, good length of rib, firm topline, well coupled with strong loin and balanced construction. Not as positive on the move today but deserved his place. BD.

OD (1) 1 Pitfield's Follyfield Firecracker. B/T. Have judged this boy before and like him a lot, still looks good for his 6 yrs with a beautiful coat. Pleasing shape and body proportions. Good keel and well ribbed. Good loin and coupling. Moved freely keeping a good topline RBD.
