It was indeed an honour to be invited to judge the 10th Annual Specialty of the PWCCGS. To Co-Chairs Karen and Joan and the hardworking committee members - congratulations on your efforts in running such a wonderful show and my heartfelt thanks for making my travelling companion Sandra Fitzgerald and myself so welcome. Many thanks also to Mildred and Don Harris for looking after Sandra and myself and showing us part of your wonderful country. The friendship and hospitality shown was overwhelming.

My grateful thanks also to my Stewards Terry Coughlin and Melody Kist for keeping me on the "straight and narrow" and keeping things running so smoothly.

And of course my beautiful gift crafted by Linda Ozelis - this is something I will treasure always as a lasting keepsake of my assignment.

Now for some general observations. Firstly thank you to exhibitors for the spirit in which my decisions were received. The overall quality and presentation of exhibits was very high and temperaments were very good. As is the case in many parts of the world, the depth of quality in bitches was greater than in dogs. This is something that breeders world wide must address - our bitches are the foundation of the breed but we must have suitable building blocks to put with them. I would like to also comment on a few common characteristics in some exhibits which as a breeder I would like to be aware of and try to improve on if possible. These included a domed appearance above the eyes, smaller eyes than would be desirable, and a tendency for some exhibits to not have the desired pro sternum and be somewhat narrow in front. All these characteristics detract from some of the hallmarks of our breed - foxy head and expression and good "keel".

A tricolour gentleman of outstanding breed type and quality. Very good masculine head without any hint of coarseness and lovely dark eye.

2005 SWEEPSTAKES
carrie chase (hum'nbird)

I would like to thank the Garden State club for inviting me to judge your 10th annual Sweepstakes. Special thanks to ring stewards Terry Coughlin and Melody Kist, and to Judge's Hospitality Chairs Mildred and Don Harris for your care during my visit. I loved the judge's gift, handcrafted by Linda Ozelis.

I loved the temperaments of every corgi in the entry (especially the silly, playful ones), and the sportsmanship of all exhibitors. I was very pleased to award my Best in Sweepstakes and Best Opposite in Sweepstakes winners who both exhibited quality breed type from head to toe. However, dispersed throughout the entry I found corgis with small round eyes and inadequate neck length. Many lacked the free and smooth movement required by our breed standard. But, I was totally impressed by grooming, conditioning and handling at this event -- not a long toenail nor dog in need of a bath was found! It was a pleasure to take part in your specialty and I wish all exhibitors best of luck in the future.

Entered the ring a bit unsure of her whereabouts and the identity of her new handler, but recovered nicely. This quality young bitch had excellent flow from her correctly arched neck through smooth, well-laid shoulders. Good prosternum, excellent ribbing, strong topline, and solid hindquarters. Her substance, bone and body proportions were ideal for her size. Her free, purposeful movement reflected her sound structure. She had a feminine headpiece with lovely dark, oval eyes. I forgave her slightly low ear set and wished for a bit more stop. Her movement was purposeful, effortless, and clean coming and going.

Quality red and white bitch with lovely substance, bone and feet. Feminine headpiece, good back and outline. A bit shorter in body than the one above.
