"Firstly, I would like to thank all the Committee who took part and played such an important role in organising such a smooth running show. Thanks also to both of my stewards and all the exhibitors for making my day so pleasurable.

To summarise, I would say that the bitches certainly have the edge over the dogs at present. There were some exhibits that would benefit from a little weight loss and a few had very little rear angulation. Maybe this is something breeders need to take into consideration when choosing what male to put with what female. One final thought, we need to keep an eye on size so that we don't lose what is after all a substantial, large, working breed."
