Lovely weather, super venue and a friendly atmosphere all contributed to make this a show to remember. The large ring enabled exhibitors every opportunity to strut their stuff and in the main I considered movement good. Temperaments were excellent and all present were fit for function. Heads varied somewhat and a few were rather deep in skull. Overall condition impressed. I thoroughly enjoyed my first CC appointment in this breed. Thank you.
