Treharris & District Canine Society

Treharris and District Canine Society LIMIT SHOW Sunday 7th December 2025 I would like to thank the committee of Treharris and District Canine Society for inviting me to judge their Limit show. This is a club that is very dear to me starting me out on my conformation career at their ringcraft with my Mini Bulls. So to then have me judging several years later was a real honour. Thank you all for your hospitality and friendliness and for all those who entered their dogs under me and accepted my placings on the day. The quality was wonderful with lots of great dogs that I am sure will do very well in their future careers. —— Norfolk Terrier open d/b (1/0) 1st Barrow’s KINSRIDGE PINK DIAMOND 5 yr old red bitch.

Followed instruction on the move and presented her wiggly charge well. Junior Handling 12-16 years 1st Lisa-Rose Saunders Lisa quietly handled a Tibetan Terrier. Presented well on the table moving around so as to not obstruct my view.

Presented well on the table moving tail correctly in place so as to present the best outline for me to see. Moved well but just cut the corner on the triangle. Adult Handling 17-40 years 1st Cally Saunders Cally handled a Dalmatian neatly and quietly.

Finishing in front of me with another well placed free stand of her charge. Adult Handling 41+ years 1st Eve James Eve also handled a Dalmatian with quiet efficiency. Presenting her charge well and changing hands on the down and back so as not to obscure the dog from view at any point. Finished off with a freestand neatly in front of me so I didn’t have to step or move around at all to see the dog in profile. 2nd Janett Rice Janett Handled her Tibetan spaniel very professionally. Moving for me to assess, and ensuring her charge looked at its best at all times. The only faux pas was when coming to the end of the down and back Janett presented the dog with a freestand that was facing away from me, causing me to step around to assess the dog from the side.
