"It was a great pleasure to judge the dogs at the first joint Newfoundland Club/Northern Newfoundland Club show. There were many good quality specimens despite the numbers not being high. There was a range of type but I was very pleased with my winners and my ticket winner did me proud when paraded for my co-judge. Presentation was first class without exception. There are a large number of dogs who moved very close in the rear and I only found three disappointing bites. In the challenge I particularly pulled forward my four favourite winners who I thought were of similar type.
May I thank the committee for their hospitality which was much appreciated and the excellent work of my two stewards who kept everything running smoothly and in harmony with my co-judge. May I also thank my co-judge John Evans for the efficient manner in which our joint decisions were made and my apologies to the referee Jean Hammond who was not called upon!"

"I felt very privileged to be invited to judge bitches in the First Joint Championship Show and would like to thank The Newfoundland Club for inviting me and also the exhibitors who entered their dogs under me.
The overall general quality of the bitches was very good with excellent temperaments, clean and well groomed dogs. My main concern was with rear movement particularly in the lower class where some bitches were too close or cow hocked .This however does not distract from my winners on the day. "
