Puppy & Veteran Sweepstakes

JUDGE - VALERIE WALTERS (Ranbourne)
I would like to extend my thanks to the Jersey Skylands Labrador Retriever Club for inviting me to judge their Sweepstakes. It was such a thrill to see people that I had not seen in such a long time. Seeing all of you, seemed like it was only yesterday during Jill and Bud’s time when we were all showing.  What fantastic memories.  I would also like to say what a pleasure it was to share the panel with Marilyn Ann, David Nightingale and Annaliisa Harjukari.  It was as if we have known each other forever. I wish we could have spent more time together. Hopefully, someday we will meet again.

All, this being said, I would also like to thank the exhibitors for their sportsmanship, and kind words after my assignment was completed.  The overall quality of the dogs was very good. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed their day.

1^st  Preton Ballerina – “AS GOOD AS IT GETS”.  As I approached this black to examine her, she took my breath away. I could see her handler was a bit nervous, but that did not take away from her qualities. From head to tail, she was a pleasure to look at. She has a wonderful head, with correct ear set and size, the sweetest expression, her neck flowing into her well laid back shoulders, level top line with a correct otter tail, excellent bone and feet, good angles front and rear, nice hard coat. Moved like a dream. It was difficult to fault her. Not only did she excel in structure, her temperament was so easy going. I found out later that she had just flown in from Brazil with her owner, and to display such a performance in the ring was a true testament to her character. Congratulations and continued success with her. And, take good care of her; she is so special in every way.
Indeed a pleasure and an honor to award her Best in Sweeps. It was nice to see her awarded Winners Bitch the following day and an Award of Merit.

REGULAR CLASSES

Mr. and Mrs. Knightingale (Boothgate)
We had a wonderful time judging your dogs and meeting you very sporting exhibitors that were present on the days. We thank you for this very kind invitation, the trip gave us some very happy memories. Thanks to some wonderful people who opened up their home to us at the picnic and our great guides who took us around New York.

You have well constructed Labradors in the majority, something we Brit’s could take a leaf out of your book. You do however have very different head type’s, not over done, quite the opposite. Please do not loose the typical Labrador head, there should be a well defined stop, this you as breeders seem to be loosing. We are not criticising, just passing on our thoughts.

Our very best wish’s to you all.
