NATIONAL WORKING AND PASTORAL - 2021

Judge :- Dawn Cochrane

Firstly I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge and award my first set of CC’s in PMD’s. Also thanks to all exhibitors who entered and accepted my decisions with sportsmanlike behaviour, the friendly atmosphere around the ring in this breed is second to none, and a credit to the dog show world. Lastly, a big thank you to my two stewards who kept the ring moving in the intense heat. A day I will treasure forever, thank you. All exhibits had correct dentition, double dew claws and were well up on height for the breed standard. I was very pleased with my final line-up, a credit to the breed.
