Thank you for the opportunity to officiate at your show. It was a pleasure to have
the opportunity to go over your lovely Goldens. Often the top placings were decided on a minor point.
I did note overall there were a lot of straighter fronts and that I would like to have seen more angulation
in upper arm. I also found a variety of heads and sadly some were lacking the chiselling and beautiful
eye that brings about a Golden’s kindly expression.
I want to congratulate your exhibitors on their friendliness, supporting and clapping no matter who won.
I would have liked to have met more of you after the show.
Minor Puppy Dog
1. Hawkwood Fraxinus AI. Gold youngster with pleasing head and eye expression.

he took it to the big fellows and I was confident to award him RCC. I wish him all the best for a
promising future.
