J Forshaw critique - Champ Show 09/11/14 (bitches)
I would like to thank the committee for my invite and for the exhibitors for their entry. As, always, temperaments were excellent. In some classes I had to nit-pick as the quality was so good, especially in the later classes. Just a note on tails, do breeders not think it is time we had some conformity as to what they should be like?
