Too all the people who decided it was too hot well I don’t blame you at all and can fully empathise with your decision. It was very very hot, but Bournemouth CS had put on excellent facilities and with owners using cool coats, fans on crates on the benches which were under shaded, with open sided marquees and common sense. We all got through it. My Steward’s Elaine MacDonald and Gillian Trevett did very well organising everything that needed to be organised and encouraging me with the time. What a fantastic entry you gave me, thank you so much for that. There was quality throughout all the classes. I was very pleased with my main winners and the depth of quality went down through the cards and sometimes beyond. There were 49 absentees, I understood, I just wanted to thank so many of you for getting in touch prior the show and letting me know you were not coming because of the heat, I would also like to say good job, everyone who came, by keeping your dog’s cool and safe in the heat.

His handler gets the best out of him as he can be quite naughty, In the final line-up, he was almost there but I looked at him and compared him to the open dog and saw an beautiful unfinished gangly teenager needing a bit more maturity. I wish I could have given him his third ticket and made him up but I’m there to judge the dogs in front of me and I must give my honest opinion on the dogs in front of me and that’s it. Moved really well – This is just my opinion and a week later he was made up and I cheered for him as loudly as everyone else!

1 Desmond’s Ch Elitebulls Challenger JW. WOW, what a stunning dog! Black brindle dog, I would say at the peak of his show career, brought under me in tip top condition, with good muscle definition and gleaming coat. He has a fabulous expression with neat small thin ears carried correctly. He has a dog depth and width to his skull and muzzle. Dark round well placed eyes, he is clean in his face with no wrinkle or heaviness. He has a correct bite with big white teeth. Short neck leading to well laid shoulders and a straight front. He has a good depth to brisket and well sprung ribs. He is short coupled with level topline. He has a correct tail setting and powerful rear quarters with good musculation and well let down on hocks with good bend to stifle. You can see he’s just on the edge of naughtiness with his owner who just about controls him, but he has plenty of spark about him. He is a stunning dog and well deserves every CC he has. Moved well.
