Keeshond Club Championship Show
Sunday 6th April 2008
Judges Summary
I wish to thank all the exhibitors for entering their dogs under me and for the sporting way with which they accepted my decisions. I would also like to thank my two excellent stewards for their work.
With an entry of 99 dogs and few absentees, I had some well filled classes and some good dogs went unplaced.
I was pleased to see some improvement in certain areas. I thought type was generally getting more even as well as size. Movement, while still not perfect, was overall better, I noted some of the exhibits showed the evidence of a rather narrow front, this will need to be watched
