Boston

DALMATIAN

A big thank you to my two very capable stewards who worked well with me and with a happy, pleasant disposition. A good sized ring with hard surface which enabled me to see movement easily. Overall a good entry with some quality exhibits but we still have too many with tails set too high, and some exhibits lacking in width of front and body.

Still overall I found plenty of our wonderful breed with lots to like and I found this very encouraging for the future.
