Trenton Show -
Mastiffs
Firstly, can I say thank you very much for inviting me to
judge your show at Trenton and for your hospitality. It was a pleasure to meet you all and, of course, your dogs!
I was pleased to see some lovely exhibits with large bone
and very attractive heads with good pigment.
Most exhibits, with a few exceptions, had size and good movement and
overall I was impressed with the quality of dogs. One point to watch though was the protruding underjaw, which was
quite noticeable in some cases.
I hope that you enjoyed the day as much as I did and I wish
you lots of fun with your Mastiffs in the future.
