I was very pleased with the size of entry given the prevailing situation, & my having judged relatively recently. Given that circumstances I couldn’t have expected the male fronts to have improved dramatically, for them to be straighter with less turned out feet & blacker nails, but I might have hoped that the nails would at least be shorter & therefore not accentuate these faults as much.

MPD (4)

1 Coley’s Kingsview Warwick, very raw 7 month old with a coat coming through, good head & expression. Maybe not the best constructed in the class but the best mover overall;

2 Purchon’s Lindenka Frazer, liked him on the table, particularly for his front & his exceptionally good coat for age, moved true, but his lack of confidence told against him;

3 Jennings’ Comdale Handsome Harry.
