Judge – Mrs Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)

I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this well run show. Such a shame that we had such horrid weather. So, thank you to all the exhibitors who ventured out, making a lovely day’s judging. I must say thank you to my very able steward, who kept us all in good order.

Dalmatian

I would like to thank all of the exhibitors for the super entry, it was a true honour. A decent sized ring for an open show, but still a bit of a challenge for such a free moving dog. Delighted with the quality of all the dogs, they are a real credit to you.

Puppy (10,3)

1. Miss Wright - Millbelle Helena

Fell for this quality L/S bitch, at only 8 months old she shows such promise. Most appealing in her outline, so very balanced and harmonious in her proportions.

Clean neck of good length, flowing into a firm topline and well set on tail. Brisket well let down. She used her strong wide quarters to drive effortlessly around the ring, being true fore and aft.
