Judge: R CHappell Selfs, Tans

GENERAL COMMENTS

It was a pleasure to judge at Sowood again with a good entry to sort through. There were some nice Selfs, good type, fit and a good size, but there were several mice in the adult class which would not have been out of place in the u/8s and some u/8s that were really too young and small to show. The winning u/8 Cream of Sarah’s was very nice, a worthy BOA in Show, and a nice u/8 Cham Tan of Indie Mitchell Best Tan and also Best Junior. Congratulations to Ruth on BIS with a lovely Cinnamon.

Thank you to my steward Lewis, and a pleasure to judge with Phil. No problems with the duplicates. I look forward to the next time.
