FIFTH SOUTHERN NEWFOUNDLAND CLUB OPEN SHOW

Show Manager's Report

"What a brilliant day at the 5th Open show of the SNC. Wonderful friendly atmosphere which many people commented on. Huge thanks to Marissa Jeffries for judging the first ever Special Award Champions Class, a first for the SNC. Whilst this is a class for the privilidged few and the opportunity for up and coming judge to have hands on experience of Champion dogs, my special thanks go to the majority of members who entered their special mates into the general show classes which were judged totally competently by Kevin Young. A very busy schedule asked of him but fulfilled to an excellent level - thank you so much Kevin.

It is always important to retain an impartial opinion on the breed from a knowledgeable all rounder, which I think you did seeing your final line up of dogs, bitches and Best in Show - Totally well done - Thank you so much. Really hope you enjoyed your day. We always take the best dogs home and it is reassuring that most of you realise that.

Junior handling classes saw a change of judge on the day. Thank you Delia Sarsons for stepping in at the last moment to cover the Junior Handling classes in the absence of Cheryl Payne - hope that you are on the road to a speedy recovery Cheryl x.

As always, indescribable help given behind the scenes by the SNC committee - thanks to you all. Huge congratulations to the winners and all those who took part in the competition. I am amazingly proud of our breed and the quality of our dogs - well done."
