Open Show
critique


I would like to thank the committee for inviting me and the exhibitors for such a good entry.

The ring was a nice size which enabled me to move the dogs.  A few of the dogs had mouth faults, heads with too much loose skin.  Correct eye shape and colour was hard to find.  Best mover was a veteran bitch who put most of the younger dogs to shame.
