Judge: Mrs. Mary Drewett (Judyland)

Judge: Ms. Helen Long (Arroline)

I’d like to thank the Northern CKCS Society show for their generous hospitality; nothing was to much trouble even when I needed emergency sun cream. I would also like the thank the exhibitors who bought their dogs under me, without exception temperaments and presentation were good.
It was an enjoyable day filled with quality dogs. I was very pleased with my line up and I feel many of my class winners were green card worthy. It came down to the dog and it’s performance on the day. My only slight concern is that there were bitches throughout the entry with slight overbites, these should not be confused with scissor bites, something to watch when it comes to breeding. All first and second placed had correct mouths and therefore I will not mention bites in individual critiques.
My co judge Mrs Mary Drewett and I agreed on all our principle winners with Best In Show going to the Dog, who gained the breed record on the day. Reserve Best in Show the bitch, who gained her championship. Best Puppy in Show was the bitch, Best Veteran in Show the dog and Best Vintage the Dog.
