Critique - Judge: Rita Pike (Scarletti)
I would like to thank the Windsor Committee for their hospitality and for the buffet the evening before the big day. My thanks to the hard working stewards. There were quite a few dogs with light eyes and coats, splayed feet and lacking in upper arm angulation. Movement was disappointing sometimes but the conditions were so extreme I chose to be lenient. Quite a few bitches I felt were overweight. Where oh where have the lovely heads gone? SH CH SUMARIC SHADOW OF MR JINGLESBest of Breed at Windsor Championship Show
