I would like to thank the Dobermann club for inviting me to judge Dogs at their Diamond Jubilee Championship Show and for the lovely gift that I received . The venue and weather were perfect and special thanks to my two very capable stewards. I am pleased to say that from my last judging appointment in 2005, the dogs in general were over all more balanced and a degree of elegance is coming back to the breed. I would have preferred tighter fronts in a lot of the dogs and also feel that heads must be watched to ensure that they do not become too short.
I was delighted to learn I had given my CC winner his third CC and title. My reserve CC winner also has two CC's and I have no doubt that he will soon receive his crown.
