Judge : Mr Nigel Barker
This critique reflects the judge's opinion
based on what they saw on the day of the show.

My first CC appointment in the breed and was pleased with my placings. I was very honoured to be able to judge both dogs and bitches on the day owing to the judge for dogs not able to make the venue through bad weather. My CC and RCC winners were very much to my liking and typical to the breed.
