My thanks to the committee and members for a very enjoyable day. I was given a warm welcome and the exhibitors accepted my decisions with good sportsmanship. Special thanks to Mary Lowe, a delightful hostess who looked after me very well. I was ably assisted in the ring by a first class steward in Bill Rowell. It is some years since I judged the breed in this country and I was delighted with the overall quality of the dogs. In some classes, I was spoilt for choice with such quality in the line up.
Veteran Dog (3)
1st - McLeod's Aus Ch/Ch Peperone Solid Gold. What a great dog and he still has it. Masculine head and expression, strong underjaw. Elegant flowing neck into well laid back shoulders. Deep chest with good ribbing. Strong bone and well knuckled feet. Muscular hindquarters and still moving very well at 9 years. BVD.
2nd - Wilson's Speymalt Heir of Buckpool. 7 year old quality male of good proportions. Balanced head with good expression. Well constructed front although pasterns are a little slack. Deep chest with well sprung ribs. Solid topline and well built hindqaurters. Moves out well, a little close behind.

Graceful neck into well laid shoulders, strong bone and neat feet. Graceful topline and well built hindquarters. Moves very well for one so young. One to watch.
