It is great honour to judge at Crufts, and I thank you all for the good entry. A couple of things I would like to mention -:
When you have such a good sized ring as we had on the day, it is essential that you use this to its full potential to get your dog moving and show it off, watch your dog, as well as where you are going, to many were pacing which ruins all sense of movement. Have a good look at your dog before going into the ring as if you were the judge i.e. - has it got clean eyes, teeth and feet. Gay tails seem to be a problem, as do horse shoe fronts, I don’t mind dogs running/playing on grass, but they need good road work daily to make them strong and true. You pay good money to enter shows, why waste it on poor turn out / performance. I don’t profess to be an expert but the above worked for us.
