MASTIFF ASSOCIATION OPEN
SHOW
SUNDAY 24th SEPTEMBER 2006
Judge: Mr
Colin Hill ( Fragilis )
Firstly may
I thank the committee, stewards, volunteers, exhibitors and of course
their well turned out exhibits without them there would not have been
a show, also to the meteorological miracle performed on the day! It
was a great honour and privilege for me to be chosen as stand in for
Karen Olsson who should have judged on the day although I think she
must have been smiling on us all from above as well as arranging the
weather with Him upstairs. Quality and type of exhibits was good but
varied, lack of body length seems to becoming more apparent showing
length more similar to that of bullmastiffs, general temperament and
soundness was of a lovely standard with fortunately only a few showing
unsound movement. BIS-Ch Klanzmun Firewitch, RBIS-Cyberus Carnelian,
