Thank you to all exhibitors for their support and very good entry. I was very happy to find some lovely quality dogs. I found that there were some huge variations in type especially in heads.

MPD (3) 1. Horton's Holbain Mr Pringle, Cream 6 mths old, Good eye & ears, correct bite, well bodied, good ribs, good profuse coat, moved well for a youngster. 2. Clements' Holbain High Profile, 6 mths Brown/White Parti colour, very nice looking dog, a bit coarser in head than 1, good coat texture & plenty of undercoat. Good feet & moved well. Unfortunately he goes over the measure which is such a shame, I still felt that his qualities out-weighed those of dog 3. 3. Holmes' Limburg Golden Jason.
