THE OLD ENGLISH SHEEPDOG CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
7th August 2005

judge: Mrs Irene Crane-Duplock (MIRENE)

I would first of all like to thank the committee for asking me to officiate at this show. Thanks also to my stewards Lynn and Jill who did a fine job. Thanks also for making my mum welcome and providing a lovely lunch for us all.
I am quite worried at the lack of quality amongst our breed, mainly in the dogs. The depth of brisket and spring of rib is lacking in quite a lot of the males and the hind angulation also has gone. There were a lot of dirty teeth out there but on the whole the mouths were good. I was delighted with my principle winners and wish every exhibitor continued success.

Minor puppy dog: (1) 1st Mellowdee Polar Ice of Solentbears - Just 6 months old, moved steady. Good eyes and mouth. Just needs time.

Puppy dog (3) 1st Beauvallon Bounty Hunter at Simplyblue - Lovely cobby dog with good deep brisket. Short muzzle and good head properties. Excellent bone. Good strong low set hocks and good angulation this showed when he was on the move. BPD
