I would like to thank the members of the Queensland Boxer Club for giving me the honour to adjudicate at their specialty show.

Overall the quality of the Boxers exhibited was of a very high standard.

However it would be remiss of me if I did not mention three things that did cause concern:

1/ LIP PLACEMENT: The standard calls for "The lower edge of the upper lip should rest on the edge of the lower lip" I found a number of cases where the top lip completely overhung the bottom lip.

2/ BODY: "The Boxer is a medium sized sturdy smooth-haired dog of short squared figure"

The short refers to Short Coupled ,there was a couple of instances of very long couplings spoiling the outline in profile and also causing slack top lines and spoiling movement.

Once again thank you very much for the most enjoyable day and to the exhibitors for the sportsmanlike manner in which they accepted the decisions, and a special thank you to your Treasurer Kathy for making my stay enjoyable, picking me up at the airport and not forgetting to take me to your show.
