What a lovely show. It was outside and it was like a summer’s day. The committee were running 2 large rings together which was a great idea. The atmosphere was very pleasant and every one took their placings with good sportsmanship. I enjoyed my day with the exhibitors and spectators. Thank you all for a super day. All exhibitors were presented in a good clean condition.

Veteran Dog or Bitch (1,0), 1 Palmer & Trundley, Miss T. & Mrs. B., Toonian Tall Tale To Blamorder, (Imp. HRV): This 7yr old tri coloured bitch stood alone in this class. She is of a very pleasant type. Has a nice out-line and is nicely balanced. She carries herself well and is very sound on the move. Pleased to award her Best Veteran In Breed and Res. Best Bitch and later I was able to award her Best Veteran In Show. Many Congratulations.

Puppy Dog or Bitch (1,0), 1 Llewellyn & Lusty, Mrs. J. & Miss A., Blamorder Sunny Side Up: This 11mth old tri coloured bitch again stood on her own. She is very feminine and of a good type. Nicely balanced for her age with a nice out-line. Strong back end which she used when moving easily around the ring. I was pleased to award her Best Puppy in Breed and later award her Reserve Best Puppy in Show. Congratulations.

Post Graduate Dog (1,0), 1 Riva, Miss K., Manordeifi Rock On: Another one that stood alone in this class. This sable and white dog is 6yrs of age and is a stylish lad. He is of a pleasing type with a typical out-line and is nicely balanced. He is very neat overall and moved about the ring freely. Pleased to award him Reserve Best Dog in Breed. Well done.

Limit Dog (1,0), 1 Metcalf, Mr. A. & Mrs. S., Koczkodan Well I Never: This very friendly 3yr old dog is a tri colour. He is of a pleasant type and out-line. He used his backend to his advantage moving about the ring well. Absolutely loved his bomb proof temperament. Congratulations.

Open Dog (3,1), 1 Rodgers, Miss C., Blamorder Mischief Maker With Jerdoni: A 3yr old sable and white dog. He took my eye straight away. He is of a very nice type and out-line. Very nicely balanced through-out and very masculine who just showed his socks off. He was able to use his back end to his advantage. Moving easily and freely about the ring. I was pleased to award him Best Dog and then Best of Breed and later Best in Show. Congratulations good one.

2 Warren & Lusty, Miss K. & Miss A., Coldelee Jupiter Rises With Blamorder, JW Intro EX: This 4yr old tri coloured dog presented himself well. He is a pleasing dog. Unfortunately, just let himself down on the move. I moved him twice just in case but he still crossed on the front. Sorry I liked him, a nice masculine dog.

Post Graduate Bitch (1,0), 1 Watkins, Ms L., Blamorder Unlucky For Some: A 2yr old bitch who stood alone in this class. This tri bitch is well up to size and is very feminine and friendly. She has a lot going for her. Very pleasing out-line, good type and nicely balanced. Moved nicely about the ring. I was more than pleased to award her Best Bitch in Breed and then awarded her Res. Best of Breed. Well done.
