"My apologies for the brevity of the individual critiques - my notes lost an argument with a leaking thermos flask! We had rather a small ring which must have affected movement, especially in those dogs that take time to really get into their stride. I had classes with some very good dogs and placings were very much 'on the day'. Mouths seem to be better, though some skulls are getting so broad and rounded that the occiputal bone had almost disappeared. I was also rather concerned that some of the younger animals, especially in Puppy Bitch, seemed so unhappy and frightened. Hopefully they will gain confidence as they mature. On the whole I was very pleased with my entry."
