Cricklade Village Hall, 10th April 2016. Judge: Dr Emma Greenway (Jollygaze).
I would like to sincerely thank the Club for the absolute privilege it was to judge this Show. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and the general good sportsmanship of all the exhibitors. The standard of the exhibits gave me great hope for the future of the breed and there was a terrific depth of quality that at times made me really have to think hard about my placings. I was delighted to see so many correctly long dandies with great outlines. It was also super to see so many with correctly made fronts and good angulation.
