First, I would like to thank Committee of West of England Ladies´ Kennel Society for inviting me to judge their 2016 Show, this was my first Championship Show appointment in UK. I thank all exhibitors for their time and for bringing out their dogs.
Overall I was pleased with the quality of entered dogs. Loved all dogs who I placed in classes, sadly there is only one first place and one winner at the end. However, I feel a need to comment on few things that caught my eyes and gave me cause for concern. I looked for dogs with high quality meeting breed standard, free and flowing movement with great attitude. Sadly I saw poor movement in quite a number of exhibits. A few exhibits which made great impression in standing, disappointed me on the move. I'm also concerned about soft toplines, size differents and mouths.
Finally I must admit, all my CC and RCC winners would easily win worldwide.
