My thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge bitches at their CH show, also thanks to my two very capable stewards .A great entry in numbers and quality, my only concern, a few bad mouths in the earlier classes and some bitches lacking in bone, in my opinion there is to much of a gap between dogs & bitches these days We all know bitches must be feminine compared with dogs but there is no excuse for lack of bone and muscle They are after all one breed and big boned muscular dogs and small boned spindly bitches is a recipe for disaster After saying that my principle winners were excellent examples of the breed
