Island & Pacific Labrador Retriever Club – Conformation Specialty Championship Show – 12/10/19

Thank you very much to the committee for inviting me, and you the exhibitors for presenting me with your dogs to judge. Grateful thanks too to my first class steward Dr. Sophia Fanous who expertly steered me through the format of the classes. Both the very kind, thoughtful and extremely generous hospitality of the club and the quality of your Labradors have made it one of my most memorable judging appointments.

The range of activities organized by the club is to be commended, promoting not just conformation and good looks but plenty of mental stimulation too. I was especially intrigued with the Live Search training, and two youngsters that I know of were shown under me. Fascinating to hear about this, and how the training is started for it, and I even saw a little video clip of puppy training on a ladder. I also met the lady who acts as a live dummy for the dogs to train on! Well done all who participate in this, so very worthwhile, and it looks most enjoyable for dogs and handlers.

I was impressed with the overall fit hard condition of the dogs, sound movement, excellent double coats, well shaped and clothed true otter tails.

Jr Puppy (6-9 months) Male 1^st Carter, Delong & Nichol’s MAKTAWAE D’KID IS HOT TONIGHT, 6 month chocolate baby well muscled hard fit condition, confident and free moving, pleasing expression. I learned later that he has already commenced training as a live search dog.
