​

Firstly, I would like to thank the Officers and Committee Members for inviting me to judge at this prestigious show and the great hospitality given to me. I would also like to thank both my Stewards who were both friendly and efficient making my task so much easier. Finally thank you to the Exhibitors for giving me such a splendid entry.

I was looking for dogs that in my opinion epitomizes our breed standard. I’m sorry to say some didn’t. A number were not square in shape. A few stood at ten to two. I know a number of East Asiatic breeds do, but in our breed this is not correct. A few were tipping their tongue, which is not desirable. Presentation on the whole was good but a number of exhibits had bad eye staining that can detract from the dog’s expression. I suggest that using one of the specific products on a daily basis can be helpful in improving and avoiding the problem. On a positive note it was so nice to see the correct hare foot on so many dogs, I was also pleased to see such quality dogs and thrilled with my top winners.
