Shetland Sheepdog Club Of QLD Inc.

I had the pleasure to judge at the Shetland Sheepdog Club in Queensland 22 September
2018! I have been looking forward to this trip for such a long time and I had no idea what
quality to expect. I was not disappointed! The general quality was very high and I was very
thrilled over my winners. I would love to bring them home! I am sure many of my class
winners have done or will do very good in breeding. We also stayed in Australia for my
holiday and we had a great time at the east coast for a month. 
I was pleased over the high entry of 61.

My super ring stewards Terry and Margaret guided me through the day very safely.
It was an excellent permanent showground and lovely prizes to all winners.

My last words will be that you have high quality of the breed here in East Australia and I felt
very honored to hear that some had come from far away to show under me, thank you so
much. The only thing I would think of when breeding is to improve the head. Too many were
not flat enough in scull or over the eyes. That spoils the expression. The construction, bone,
movements and coats you have, just needs to perfect the shape of scull.
Keep up your good work!

Thank you again, and hope to meet you somewhere again!
