Another very enjoyable show which was well supported. Whilst the entry was not large the quality was sufficient to make both our judges Zoe Martin and Debby Yarham think about their placings. Both Zoe & Debby seen in the picture receiving their gift from the Society's President Glynis Yuill enjoyed their day with the Society and we would like to thank them both for their efforts. The committee hopes that the new venue at Bletchingley proved a postitive move for exhibitors and spectators alike. No show can be successful without the exhibitors entering and spectators coming along to support the show and our thanks go to those that attended. Lastly, thank you to the band of helpers who came along to help set up the show. We hope to see lots of you at the Championship Show in October.

Many thanks to the SCSBTS for inviting me to judge the Special Awards classes as well as to Alice Levy for being my steward. Most important I would like to extend my gratitude to all who gave me the opportunity to go over their dogs.

 Class A - Special Award Puppy Dog or Bitch: (3 Ent, 1Abs))

1st. Mitchell & Ashton’s “CHEDANSTTAFF DEVIL STAR”. A top sized black brindle dog with level topline, which was held as he moved down the mat with sufficient drive, good bend of stifle. Nice shaped head of correct proportions, round dark eyes, rosed ears, excellent bite and lots of expression. Made his handler work for it but was handled well.

2nd. Wise’s “MONTGOMERY GUARD”. Black brindle dog. Sort coupled & compact with good depth of brisket, well sprung ribs and wide front. Clean head with dark eyes and a correct bite. Moved ok

Class B- Special Award Open Dog: (5 Ent, 3 Abs)

1st. Gardner’s “LABRASTAFF CURIOUS GEORGE”. Black brindle of balanced proportions with clean head, dark eyes full of expression, excellent bite, tidy ears, gleaming coat. Wide front, deep brisket and well sprung ribs. This dog was as solid as a rock in his superb muscle condition and he moved with powerful drive.

2nd. Marsland’s “THUNDER OF OLYMPUS”. Red dog of top size, clean head, good bite, level topline on the stand. Moved ok

1st. Johnson’s “ELLCHANSHA ONCE UPON A TIME JW”. Classy black brindle bitch with a beautifully shaped head, good width of muzzle with clean lips, excellent bite, rosed ears, correctly placed round eyes of darkest colour. She used those eyes with greatest of expression and never took them off me. Balanced body, level topline that she held on the move, good width of chest, deep brisket, tight well-padded feet, and good bend of stifle. She flowed down the mat with drive. Handled superbly.
