My 1st time at this venue and it is fabulous. The halls are huge with plenty of room for rings and exhibitors. I was pleased with my entry and the sportsmanship of the exhibitors. Overall, this is a well-oiled show and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you all for the entries.

Puppy Dog (1,0), 1 Smith, Miss A., Zodiac Stars Align Angel Silvester: This 6mth old sable and white dog stood alone in this class. He is a pleasant type with a nice out-line. Very pleasant to handle. He is still loose on the move which is fine at his age. Time is on his side and should be ok. Very nice. Well done.

Junior Dog (2,0), 1 Lockyer, Mrs. M.A.., Gataj Just Like Jesse James: A 17mth old sable and white dog. Well presented. He is a good size of excellent type. Well balanced. Excellent out-line, good proportions through-out. Over all making a well-balanced boy. Pleasing on the eye. Moved well. Very nice type.
