MASTIFF ASSOCIATION OPEN SHOW

SATURDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2002

Judge: Mrs Marion Spavin

 

The Mastiff Association held it's own Open Show on the 22nd September at Norton Parish Hall, Littleworth, Worcs. I really enjoyed my day with them and thank everyone for their kind hospitality.

It was a very nice entry and I found some very nice dogs, although there was quite a mixture of types. Some were a little too heavy, which affects their movement. Moving on concrete seems to bring out the worst in some. Many move much better on grass. It was a well-run show, which went smoothly, and I would also like to thank my very good ring stewards.
