Dogs Mrs H Brewer (Bowfort)
I would like to thank the committee for keeping my judging appointment available from the two postponement&rs that took place and thank them for their care. I would also like to thank my two stewards Gary and Julie for the care shown to me when I felt unwell and after a short break was able to continue with the judging. My observations are worrying, in that legs are becoming too short, muzzles are also becoming short and if we are not careful we will lose the correct taper to the muzzle. Also although this may only be cosmetic, our standard does ask for a broken colour on a pearly white and I found that many dogs were too blanket in colour. I found that I had very few wrong mouths today and all my placed dogs had correct mouths.

What can I say about this dog that hasn’t already been said. I previously judged him as a junior where I felt he wasn’t quite mature enough for me, but boy has he matured.
