Firstly I would like to thank the exhibitors for the lovely entry of well presented Westies they gave me.
Some general observations I made on the day was that there are some Westies shown with far too much weight on their shoulders and bodies that begin to resemble the body of a Scottie. I know how easily these "features" creep into a breed so please be aware as it really isn't correct according to the standard. I know we all interpret the standard differently and some differences are acceptable but no extremes should be tolerated.Some had round and full eyes which certainly spoil the expression that the standard asks for. Some lovely shaped heads with great expressions but there was a tendency for smaller heads. When in balance with the rest of the dog it is of course ok but it is an issue we need to watch.
A personal dislike of mine are ears that aren't carried well. The advice I would like to give is to try to make the dog use their ears as it really improves the expression.

Minor Puppy Dog (4,1abs)
1st: : SQUIRE'S KIMGARWYN ALCO Smart well grown youngster with lovely head and expression Good coat for his age. A real showman who moved well Very well constructed ,nice quarters, good tail set
2nd: : BARTLETT'S DWILENCIA LOVE AFFAIR Another well grown attractive dog pup. Very strong head. Strong quarters Would prefer a little bit less weight on him. Not a lot between him and the winner
3rd: : ABBEY'S CLANESTAR CLOCKING OFF AT KRISTAJEN Less mature and just wouldn't settle. I guess he needs a lot of time

Junior Dog (1)
1st: : GRIFFITHS' KARAMYND HIGH AS A KITE
Dog that impressed me a lot . So very nice to go over. Moves very well. Can't fault his shoulder and front. Lovely outline. Excellent coat. Well shaped head. In the line up of unbeaten dogs he still showed his age which I consider to be a good thing

Limit Dog (9 1abs)
1st: : THOMSON'S ASHGATE SCOT'S PROGRESS Very showy compact and attractive dog with excellent coat Well shaped head with very good expression, well placed ears Excellent hard white coat. To be critical I felt he was carrying far too much weight
2nd: : ATKINS' ABERCROFT AKIRA Another dog that could lose some weight in my opinion Moved well but I feel with less weight and more furnishing he would look better Strong head
3rd: : DINGLEY'S DAVOT CHIVALROUS CHAP JW Beautiful presented dog with a lovely coat and very strong head Excellent shoulders and front. Well angulated hind quarters but he wasn't settled on the move and didn't move correctly behind

Post Graduate Bitch (13, 3 abs) Three nice bitches of similar type
1st: : WHARMBY'S LASARA LOOK AT HER  She was the one I definitely wanted to take home. Such a lovely type. Compact and well constructed Correct in neck and shoulders going into level back Strong hindquarters. Certainly the best head on the day, strong with the distinct stop as required according to the standard. Expressive eyes and neat well carried ears To me she fits the standard so well I considered her for top honours but felt in the final line up of unbeaten bitches she wasn't quite as mature as the winners
2nd: : FRYER'S HOPECHARM GIRL HONA MISSION Another nice one that I really liked Was very impressed with her shape Moved and showed very well Excellent coat would perhaps prefer a bit less weight on her
3rd: : LANCASTER'S CLANESTAR CINNAMON JW She also is a very nice type of bitch very similar to the two in front of her Excellent coat. Lovely head and expression and very strong hind quarters Not so good in shoulders and front movement as the winners

Limit Bitch (12, 2 abs) The best class on the day Could have done with more cards
1st + Res CC : BRITTEN'S RAGUS WINTER MORNING AT KRISMA  Lovely bitch that fits the standard very well Nothing over done everything in the right place Well proportioned, correct neck going into compact strong body Strong hindquarters Moved and showed well and in good coat condition I liked her a lot
2nd: : SMITH'S BURNEZE JUST ANNY LUSION AT LORBRI Another very nice bitch, moving and showing very well She really pulls out all the stops Not so compact as the winner and I feel she would benefit from some more coat on her hind quarters. Lots to like about her
3rd: : BACON'S CABON SEA SONG Excellent type of bitch, one I would call an honest bitch Very well constructed and she moved and showed well Strong head, good coat of which she needs to grow some more

Open Bitch 9 , 4 abs)
1st:+ CC + BOB DUNNE'S CHAROSMACK CLEAR DREAMS 
Well what can I say except she is the ultimate show girl but also very sound She never put a foot wrong and moved so effortlessly, she never falters.Strong head which she carries very well Excels in neck and shoulders, I like the way she stands on her fore hand Strong level back and very well developed hindquarters Well set tail which some would say could be a bit shorter but it is in balance with the rest of her. She demands of you to take notice of her all the time and is full of her self importance .Presented in absolute top condition, coat and body wise Her attitude made her also demands to win BOB
2nd: : ABBEY'S CH ASHGATE SAUCHER AT KRISTAJEN Attractive bitch with strong head who really pulled out al her stops on the day Presented in very good coat condition Not quite so good in the forehand as the winner
3rd: : BURNS' IR CH BURNEZE MISTLETOE MAGIC Very showy pretty bitch which to me on the day was not as strong as the winners.She some times tends to push her forehand too much forward Very well presented but could have done with more coat ,which BTW is of good quality.She moved wel
