Championship Show on 20th October 2024
I would like to thank the committee and members for asking me to judge the dogs at this friendly and well-run show. Although not a large entry, the quality of all the dogs was incredible. Thank you to all the exhibitors for giving me the pleasure of going over their beautiful dogs. I had a wonderful day. Also a huge thank you to my two excellent stewards Netty and Pam who kept the ring running so well.

Judge Gill Johnstone
I would like to thank the Committee for inviting me to be the Referee at their 30th Championship Show & for the hospitality shown to me on the day.
I wasn’t needed to Referee as both Judges agreed final placing, but I did enjoy judging the Brace & Breeders Classes.
BRACE
Both exhibitors handled their dogs really well, both pairs performed well together, straight up & down & round the ring with their handlers looking in control of their Brace.
1st Mrs A Walton, Mrs GM Coffin & Mrs NA Patterson’s Hillpark mother & daughter pair, so very similar in appearance. Moved as one round the ring & stood beautifully together.
2nd Miss A Primmer’s Amanshe pairing, moved in unison round the ring, what a very happy pair.
SPECIAL BREEDERS
One exhibiting group was familiar with how to present multiple dogs in a Breeders Classes, the other wasn’t. I made a couple of suggestions to this group who very quickly got the idea how to present their dogs in this class.
All exhibits were presented in excellent coat & condition displaying powerful driving movement round the ring.
1st Cooper’s Gilstonia Mother, Daughter & Son group. Certainly all of a type, even size & balance. Peas in a Pod.
2nd Walton, Coffin & Patterson’s Hillpark group. There was a seven year age range to this group, a credit to their breeders.
