Midland Counties Canine Society

Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge my heart breed, my second time awarding CC’s in this breed. Overall I found the dogs to be sound and well presented, except for 1 dog who was presenting as lame who chose to withdraw from the class. Eyes seem to be improving which is good to see. The outstanding class of the day was Open Bitch which could have switched places on different days, and easily will stay in my mind as one of the most exciting classes I have judged to date.
