First, I must thank the Committee of The National for the organisation & hospitality of this prestigious event. It could not have been easy under the current circumstances. It was the first indoor show for many of the younger dogs and they found the situation stressful having not been in this environment before. I tried to give each individual time to settle. It has been 2 years since I last judged, sadly, the breed hasn't improved. We have lost breed type, too many upright shoulders and hardly any double coats. Having said that I was pleased with my winners.


Special Beginner Dog (3 entries)

1stLimerick & O'Sullivan RIVERWATCHER PALUKTAK
Masculine head leading to strong neck. A liitle upright in shoulders for me. Is in good coat with plenty of body. Ample bone and well muscled quarters. Moved soundly.
2ndSewell CLEGANE INFERNO TO BREAKERSWELL
Good head and neck, preferred shoulders on this dog. Good coat & condition and depth to chest. Just preferred movement of 1.
3rdClare & Redfern ARTHUNDUR LITTLE LION MAN

This was the 1st indoor show for all of these - hence a little apprehensive. Litter brothers and all at different stages of development. Will change places many times.

1stO'Reilly TOLLELKIN DREAM LOCH
Liked the shape and overall balance of this youngster. Good reach of neck into good shoulders. Nice coat for age. Moved easily once settled. BPD & BP.
2ndElkin TOLLELKIN DREAM HARBOUR
Not as mature as 1 - little finer throughout at the moment. In good coat & condition. Would like his head to develop more. Moved ok but needs more coordination.

Last judge this boy at Crufts 2019 - where he was going through the awkward "teenage" stage. Now developing into mature Toller. Good head proportions, lay back of shoulder & nicely bodied. Moved out well.
2ndCopeland CAMUSMOR BRINGMESUNSHINE TO MENSTONIA
Similar type to 1. Good head, eye & shoulder placement. Well bodied & nicely muscled. Have seen him move better - felt that he was not being allowed to stride out therefore restricting his movement.
