I would like to thank the exhibitors for the excellent entry and the lovely friendly atmosphere which was created around the ring.

PD 3,1

1 Jolly’s CHIFIDO READY TO SHINE FOR DOOLISH. Best of Breed, Best Puppy and Best Special Beginners. This dog really caught my eye as he entered the ring in having many of the specific breed points which I was looking for. Little did I know at that time that he would end up as my best of breed. Lovely, typical square outline. Very appealing head with lovely small well-shaped fairly thick ears pointing towards the eyes. Nice eye shape and size with length of skull equal to length of muzzle. Excellent front angulation all together with a desired length of leg equal to body depth. Well developed chest for his age. Correct topline with the required rise over the loin, fairly flat croup and high tailset. Good width of well muscled upper and lower thigh. Moved soundly and effortlessly on well-shaped, cushioned feet; good harsh coat.

2 Webb’s Chifido Chasing Rainbows. Litter brother to my winner and again a very pleasing type with a lovely head, small well-positioned ears and lovely dark almond-shaped eyes of sufficient size and good frowning expression. Good depth of chest and well developed hindquarters. Correct harsh coat. Just not quite the topline of my winner. Moved soundly both coming and going.
