Mr R Dix (Beewye) |
| It was a great honour to be asked to judge this show; especially as the Southern is my local show and I am a founder member. The show was well run by the hard working committee and several volunteers / pressed parents. There were some excellent dogs and I was pleased to give the top awards to those I considered best met the Breed Standard. The Referee Jane Bowdler came to decide Best in Show and awarded it to the Dog Miletree Montesuma of Londonor. |

Mr A Allcock (Sleepyhollow) |
| It was a great honour to judge one of my favourite breeds although I found it quite a challenge. Whilst it is paramount that we reward those that closely emulate the breed standard, contruction and movement must also be a strong consideration. Whilst I am the first to admire a dog demonstrating an abundance of breed type I was unprepared to dismiss physical soundness in my deliberations. Sadly, whilst many exhibits presented fabulous heads & coats, some were void of correct balance and fundamental requirements. Low set tails at the end of a steep croup and then conversely, tails that flew in the air which completely distorts outline were alarmingly conspicuous. In many classes, movement demonstrated basic structural faults which all the glamour in the world should not compromise. This breed is a Toy dog and some dogs were far too large and heavy to fulfil this requirement. On the positive side, all dogs were presented in super coat and condition. Dentition was, on the whole, most impressive and temperaments truly wonderful. I was really pleased with the CC short list. As it was such a close call I consider those that did not receive a green card really unlucky. My stewards were superb and at the end of the day a great opportunity was provided for my co-judge Rob Dix and I to agree, inviting Jane Bowdler, the club’s President and daughter of doyenne of the breed, Mrs Amice Pitt, to adjudicate and award BIS. |

She was really unlucky to meet the winner of the Open class today.
