Show Manager's Report

"Well it wouldn't be the Southern Newfoundland Club show without the weather trying its very best to hamper procedings...this year it was relatively kind with slippery conditions on the road and underfoot delaying some folks. As usual all the Committee worked feverishly behind the scenes to produce a well run, enjoyable event which I am sure did not go un-noticed by the Kennel Club Field Officer, who chose this year to make his first visit to our show. The result of his report is eagerly awaited and I'm sure will be very positive.

Thank you for all those who attended and brought your lovely dogs with you. It was you who as usual provided a warm and friendly atmosphere for our third show by supporting all the exhibitors in the ring right up until the end of the show. The dogs as usual behaved impeccably. The days events in the ring were managed by Hedd who kept things ticking over nicely, whilst our two judges Barrie Croft and Ken Jessup enjoyed their day being kept busy with an entry of very nice dogs. Your generosity provided a super raffle which raised a healthy amount for Welfare. I have deliberately avoided naming individuals but my thanks go to all those who helped out in whatever way they could. Having said that - thank you Paul Dodd once again for the sterling job you do in taking pictures of our winners and producing the results on our web site with amazing swiftness. Once again thank you all for supporting the events that we hold and we look forward to seeing you again next year.

Hope you all have a Happy and healthy Christmas and New Year with your dogs demonstrating how to eat, sleep and be merry."

Looked quality liked the type, masculine, massive broad skull short muzzle dark eye good bite ex. pigment lovely length of neck strong fitting into good shoulders, well ribbed good topline deep chest lovely big strong quarters and strenth on the hock. Ex. jacket in full bloom presented and handled to perfection. Moves freely and totally sound, he does need to concentrate on the move in the big ring challenging the puppy bitch he tended to throw himself about and he's still slightly loose in front only a baby he will come together, sure to do well. Quality and balance sums him up.
