Here is their critique from Ex Scottish, British & World JH Champion Marina White:
12 - 16 years (6, 3a)
1. and Best Junior Handler. Jonathon Lane, age 13 with a st bernard. I was very impressed with Jonathon, in fact I've never seen someone handle such a large breed so efficiently. He actually made it look easy at some points! Again another happy looking handler who rose to the challenge and carried out patterns expertly considering the size of the dog. He was turned out well wearing a black pin - stripe suit and made the dog look amazing when standing. I was disappointed to hear that he had been knocked quite alot in competitions with this breed but a handling judge should take into account how hard they have to work and must forgive slow turns and curvey corners.
