Class Results

It was a great honour to judge this Club’s Open Show. I must offer a thousand apologies for the late submission of my report due to personal circumstances. I must thank the Society for their wonderful hospitality, my stewards who kept things running smoothly with great humour and the exhibitors for their sportsmanship.

DOGS

Veteran Dog (3 entries / 0 absent)
1st Crosier’s Nurburgnewf Cayman, ShCEx

“Upstanding, strongly built lovely head and eye, strong neck, good front and chest, nice topline, strong rear. Excelled in correct movement. Well presented. BD, RBIS, BVD, BVIS.”

2nd Hudson and Bone’s Ch. Newfangled Bone Idle

“This superbly handsome well built male has been a favourite from a puppy but I have never formally judged him before. The best of fronts and shoulders, lovely topline, well ribbed and good rear. Today seemed like he didn’t want to be here in this class and did enough but put no effort into moving or showing off how good he is and unfortunately had to pay the price. RBDIS.”

3rd Downing & Seastrom’s Northpier’s Non Ducort Duco (Imp USA)

Special Veteran Dog (1 entry / 0 absent)
1st Sayle’s Ch. Baranova Top Gallant

“Impressive 11 year old so well constructed throughout. Super head and expression, good strong neck set into the best angulated shoulders. Lovely front, well ribbed back, short loin, strong rear. Moved truly.”
