Spirit at first was a little nervous in the show ring, shying away from the judge, but thanks again to Ashlea who said to me she just loves a challenge so I gave her Spirit. Ashlea has certainly mastered this one and at every show Spirit improves just that bit more. Well done Ashlea

Golden Retriever Club Of WA Championship Show
Judge - Mrs Sue Almey (UK)

Results - 2nd State Bred Bitch
Judge's critique:

"Nicer in head than the winner and in such profuse coat that it made her look a little short-legged. Very nice in front - level topline and well bent stifles. Deep throught the rib cage. Needs a little more discreet trimming to make the best of her."
