Thank you to the committee for the invite to judge at their show which gained a fantastic entry. In general the quality was good throughout the classes. A few exhibits showed poor dentition and also a few carrying extra weight which affects movement and overall health,  especially in a giant breed. 

 

Baby Puppy dog or bitch

1. Ourfairview Atlanta. Mrs C Iverson.  5 month old smooth coated male, head developing as expected at this stage without excess. Good reach of neck onto well laid shoulders. Level top line which was maintained on the move. Strong bone throughout. Most balanced at this stage with the soundest movement. Working well with young handler to get the most out of him. Best Baby Puppy in Show. 

2. Ken Bloom Rebel. Mrs D & Mr G Jones.  Another young male who shows lots of promise. Most pleasing of heads for his age with correct proportions throughout. Good reach of neck and a level top line. Once settled he moved well with good drive, however he needs to get to ringcraft classes to really get the most from him and give him the best chance of success.
