Always start at a walk with puppies then lengthen your stride as the judge is only looking at the rear view when you set off in a triangle then when you turn at the top thats when he’s looking at lenghth of stride so the pace should be good by them, as you turn onto the home straight you should begin to slow again as he is looking at the front plus no judge likes to be mowed down by a dog moving to fast.
I like to stop a good two feet in front of the judge so he can get an all round last look.
Thats good she will work for biscuit  ;D they stay dry in your pocket, nothing worse that getting halfway home and plunging your hand in a trouser pocket of warmed up liver or sweaty cheese

First time was my fault, was trying to get my pace and went to quickly for her, then slowed down and got into a steady pace and she worked well.

Judge was very nice, gave me a few tips- he helped to stack her properly, got her into stance and she bliming moved, luckily he is a clumber owner too

Have to say, she is the only dog I know who will choose biscuit over sausage, cheese or black pudding  :what:
