Judges Comments:
Feet can make or break a good dog. Speaking from experience, feet is one of the hardest things to get right so I was very impressed with my winner in this respect. She moved brilliantly and whilst a bigger mould would have benefitted, she was exceptional elsewhere.

I cannot see why my winner is not more well known. She optimises what I look for in a show dog, excellent size, gait and topline. She has previously won well under me and pushed hard, I couldn't deny her the top spot.

This is an amazing job. I have never wanted to get a group placing or BIS so much before, just to have a dog written up. LOL. I cannot imagine how much time it takes.

Well done!!!

Same, Tarot

Also, your references to handling teams makes perfect sense. I don't think I can go back to my thinking of each handler cloning themselves to show hundreds of dogs haha

Omg I am loving these!! You are so creative

Love the judges comments. And I agree on the handling teams makes so much sense there’s not 1000 Ellen’s!
