Critique on the DOGS

 

I was interested to find that the entry was largely made up of dogs with a rich gold coat colour - as I haven’t seen this many gold coats in years I feel it may warrant comment! The majority of award winners were gold rather than cream, reflecting the entry, although the few creams present were generally very high quality animals, and most made the cards. There were also very few absentees.
