THE GREAT DANE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
3rd AUGUST 2014 BITCHES
JUDGE Miss Patricia Battersby ( Internos )

Thank you to the great dane club for inviting me to judge bitches at their championship show on the 3rd August 2014 giving me the opportunity to award CC’s for the first time. I must congratulate the show manager Mr Raj Ellis-Khanna and all committee on a professionally organised show also for the warm welcome and hospitality. The exhibitors generously gave me a wonderful entry and I thank you all for letting me meet your girls. The weather was very kind and as always a feeling of garden party atmosphere provides the basis for a much enjoyed show.

I was overall pleased with the presentation of the bitches.If I had to draw attention to a specific area it would be movement. I found pinning and running close behind very prevalent. The overall construction and conformation was good and some bitches were muscled well and truly fit for purpose .Finally I must thank my hard working stewards Mr & Mrs Chris & Jackie Woods for their help and support.
