Christmas Breed Open Show Saturday 20th December 2025 Judge Alexandra Forth (Omegaville)

I would like to thank the Secretary, Committee, my two Stewards and the exhibitors for a fabulous entry and a very pleasant day. What a fabulous array of Christmas Gifts for the exhibitors and I was pleased to add my contributions to them. The breed is close to my heart and a joy to judge. I would just like to make a mention here of the Juniors that handled in the regular classes under me. They were well schooled in perfect tune with their dogs and presented themselves to the highest of standards. I was very pleased with my lineups and my main winners. All exhibitors presented their dogs in clean and well trained conditions. So once again thank you all.
