Judging Summary for Mr Howard Ogden
UK Appointments since January 2000

I appreciated that there were 63 individual hands on of the original 89 who provided such quality competition. The breed is in safe hands in the UK with some great dogs. |

Thank you for accepting me as substitute judge. Covid restrictions meant we certainly needed to allow 3 mins per dog rather than 2 mins. Coat colour references are a bit hit and miss I confess. Just wanted to record how well you all coped, but also how impressed I was with the depth of quality. You are so fortunate to have both “old school�? established breeders alongside new enthusiasts with evidence of positive inter-action, looking at the catalogue. That’s the way forward. Bill and Trish Gray were a superb stewarding team with both Bill and I soon learning from Trish how to keep up to the mark and stay sanitised! |

Grateful to Three Counties for this first time CC opportunity. Fifty-four of the 63 entered were present. I judged my first breed classes at Prudhoe Open in 1983! I have attended 3 Breed Club Seminars since 2002 and finally obtained a JDP Credit in 2015 that allowed a hands-on discount to 55. I had 150. There was no shortage of quality exhibits right from the off making full use of the spacious freshly mown ring. Body proportions were challenging since there comes a time when body longer than height becomes too long, as it affects overall balance. |
