20 entries. 

Thank you for the lovely entry.  The quality of the dogs was very even, the Post Grad class in particular was very strong and decisions were "splitting hairs".  The "interesting" floor surface didn't suit all dogs - too many smells and very uneven underfoot!

The critiques were sent to Dog World & Our Dogs on the 7th May
