Open Show 2002

General Comments
Thank you to the ESSC officers and committee for making me very welcome and for the splendid lunch and lovely gift. My stewards were excellent and kept everything running smoothly - my thanks to them too. Although with 30% absentees the quantity was low, the quality was high and I welcomed the opportunity to go over some very classy exhibits and my overall impression was a good one. There were two bad mouths, plenty of disappointing movement and there were also a few eyes rounder and lighter than I'd like to have seen.
Minor Puppy Dog 1 First Stowequest Dumbledoor TAF Mrs B Pearson very baby puppy but a nice one. Nice eye shape and colour, good front, well sprung ribs - moved okay once settled.
