Best PuppyTivalake How Can I Be SureVernon

Thanks to my two excellent stewards Haley Jones & Sarah Gibbons who kept the ring running so smoothly. I was rather disappointed in the quality of the entry, I am sad to say that the breed has not improved since I judged last! It was impossible to judge to type. My BOB was an outstanding example of the breed, it was a privilege to judge him, he stood out for type & quality in this entry.
