I would like to thank the Committee for their invitation to judge their Open Show and all exhibitors for their entries. I must above all thank my two excellent stewards who kept everything running smoothly and kept their judge well watered on a very hot day. Temperaments were good. Mouths were all acceptable and although I found two questionable ridges the rest were all good. I was looking for a hound that filled the eye but also looked capable of doing the job originally bred for.

JUNIOR DOG (9 entries, 2 absent)
1. Jeffery’s Mutoko’s Mangusta. Although I would prefer a better head on this young dog he is so soundly made all through with excellent quarters and good ribbing. He moved with such accuracy and drive that I forgave him his ‘happy’ tail carriage.
2. Carlton’s Umhlandla Bukekayo. Lovely moving Liver nose dog with powerful neck into well laid shoulders and good return of upper arm giving him a good length to his stride accompanied by strong quarters with good width through the second thigh. Lost the class on his head which could be more refined.
3. Siddorn’s Eilack Garai Gamba.
YEARLING DOG (9 entries, 2 absent)
1. Maddox’s Tambyssa’s Zephyr. Gorgeous light wheaten dog with the best of heads, would just prefer a darker eye. Balanced all through with good bone and substance. Excellent front and feet. Deep chest, well ribbed back. Strong through the loin to powerful quarters with good bend of stifle. Moved with ease covering the ground well. Reserve Best Dog.
2. Austin & Houghton’s Kiromol Kaylo Presents Donasie. Another lovely dog. Well up to size. Balanced head with good depth to muzzle, dark eye with kind expression. Good length of neck into well laid shoulder. Good bone, front and feet. A picture standing but did not move as well as one.
