"Always a pleasure judging this impressive Breed, this being the 3rd time I have given CCs to this Breed in the UK having also judged them overseas! I felt the depth of quality was certainly in the girls with several top-class bitch down the line-up. I see the first four placings in Open Bitch were all Champions and they certainly looked it! Judging dogs is on the day, past wins or placements do not come into it!

I was very happy with an entry of 66 dogs, we had a large ring giving everyone the chance to show their charges movement and the weather held till Open Bitch then the heavens opened no effect on the dogs being a water breed, but I did feel sorry for the handlers having to run in such conditions. We were also blessed with two of the very best stewards that go my thanks."
