Judge’s Report
by Lynn Jones
I would like to thank the club for inviting me to judge one of their open shows and thanks to all those that supported the classes.
I found temperaments were excellent. But surprised to see quite a few level bites amongst the exhibits. Movement wasn’t easy to assess due to the uneven ground. Movement on the whole was better in the older classes.
