Firstly I would like to give thanks to the Officers and Committee for asking me to judge at their show and all the exhibitors for bringing their wonderful dogs; also to Mrs June Trethowan my Steward for keeping me company and doing a stirling job.

Labrador Retriever – Puppy 4(2)

1. Shacklock’s TREWINNARD SUNBURST, Superb eye catching yellow dog of 7 ½ months old. A slightly strong head with plenty of pigment and good eye colour, broad muzzle and correct ear placement. A powerful dog all round with strong neck and shoulders. Correct angles front and rear, well sprung barrel ribs and short coupled and well defined rear quarters and correct tail set, well boned neat feet. Was a little lively on the move but should settle with practice and ring time. BPIB & Puppy Group 3
