I would like to thank the Officers and Committee of St Helens & District Canine Society for inviting me to judge my first appointment. Also thanks to my stewards for doing a fantastic job which enabled my day to run smoothly.

Junior
1. Burgess, CHANTIQUE BEAR AT KEITHMERE
13 month old s/w dog. Slightly finer head than I would have liked however he should fill out as he matures. Nice neat ears of which he used constantly. Excellent conformation which allowed him to power round the ring covering ground with ease. Well-presented and very attentive to handler.

2.Potters, ALDERMEADE TALIA
Very feminine 15 month old s/w bitch. Lovely head, nice eye and correct amount of stop. Nice neat ears which when she used completed her fabulous expression. Good reach of neck and correct conformation all round which allowed her to move effortlessly around the ring. Unfortunately she was unsettled which cost her the class but I would love to see this bitch again.

3.POINTONS, Bently Blue At Monsolana Of Aldreen
12 Month old b/m dog. Nice clean wedged head with correct amount of stop along with very well placed ears. Good length of body however front movement did not please. Well presented, showed well. (BP)

Graduate
