Handling critique from Brenda Randle.
Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge these classes. Sadly storm Darragh intervened and there were some absentees, but thank you all for combined entry of 32!
Please watch corners , this applied to some, and walking between your dog and the judge.
Breed knowledge was good and in older classes points of the dog was fair.

1st Libby Rycroft handling a dachs , good quiet handler, paid attention to where I was standing. Good breed knowledge.
2nd Anastasia Voutsis handling a cotton de tulear, another good handler, good breed knowledge also .
3rd Evie May Smart handling a sheltie , after I Iearnt is new to handling , unfortunately went between myself and her dog, but one to watch.

1st Thomas Taylor, handling a scottish terrier, another handler who has good knowledge.
