DOGS
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR LETTING ME HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO JUDGE THEIR SHOW –ALSO MY CO JUDGE BRENDA BERRY WHO SPORTINGLY TOOK ON GEORGE STEVENSON`S ENTRY .
BEFORE I START IT HAS TO BE SAID THAT OVERALL MOVEMENT WAS APPALLING!-REAR END MOVEMENT WAS CLOSE, & CROSSING, FRONT MOVEMENT WAS VERY FLAPPY!—HEADS TOO WERE DISAPPOINTING WITH EYE COLOURS IN SOME CASES YELLOWY ORANGE -& ROUND –WHERE ARE THE NICE DOMED HEADS REQUIRED?-& WE HAVE HIGH EARSETS, FLAT HEADS –& WIDE HEADS THAT ARE UNTYPICAL –FEET WERE EVERY SHAPE & SIZE WITH LONG NAILS -WEIGHT TOO IN SOME, NEEDS TO BE WATCHED –WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RACEY?
HAVING SAID ALL THAT I WAS EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH MY PLACINGS –THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING. I REALLY ENJOYED MY DAY
