I had an enjoyable day with the breed and its sporting exhibitors. Like many breeds there are variations in type, I found eye shape and the amoung of bone the most varied. The temperments were excellent and condition of the dogs of a high standard. I found the coats lacking the harsh guard hair until I cam to the first two in veteran and Im a little concerned that the ideal coat of low maintenance is being replaced with an overdone more glamorous one for showing.

Junior Handling Judge: Chris Chapman
It was nice to see all these young people enjoing showing their dogs. For the most part they were excellent, just a couple moved between me and their dog and one who constantly stood out of line in front of the others. Their straight lines and turns were very good and triangles actually had corners, they were also very good at moving out of my eye line as I looked at their dogs in stance. Without exception they were all very sympatheitc to their charges.
Junior Handling 6-11years
1st Alicia Taylor, only 7 years old but already a good handler. She kept her concentration all the time and moved her dog on a nice loose lead to get the best out of her charge.
​
Junior Handling 12-16 years
1st Joe McDonald, a very capeable young man who was in tune with his dog and commanded his carge with a quiet manner and soft word and again moved his dog on a loose lead. His manner led to him getting the best out of his dog and winning the class
2nd Rachel Taylor, this young lady struggled with an un-cooperative exhibit but she did so admirably and quietly to encourage her dog to show herself to advantage and she won through and achieved this aim.
3rd Roxanne McDonald, obviously experience and very capable in everything she did both when standing her charge and moved her well trained dog.
4th Craig Taylor
