Bath 2006

rateful thanks to my two able stewards who managed to keep everything running smoothly in spite of the appaling weather conditions. Thanks must also go to the exhibitors for giving me a lovely quality entry and regretfully some lovely bitches had to go cardless. The quality of the bitches was really nice with none of the flat sided cardboard cut out dogs I had expected to see. Lovely shaped heads with correct depth of foreface, one or two light eyes, hardly any gay tails. Overall I was very pleased with the exhibits.

MPB. (6). 1. Chorley-Newton and Chorley’s, Outfoxed by Kerryfair. Very elegant baby. Beautifully balanced and so well co-ordinated at such a young age. Lovely head and expression. Good all round conformation and everything is there. She has everything to go for. 2. Williamson’s, Kirwilldale Acushla. Another quality baby. Good head, neck and shoulders. Body shape good.
